You may have heard of John Green, the author of books such as The Fault in our Stars, Paper Towns, Looking for Alaska.
He has put together a wonderful 10 part YouTube course designed to help you:
* Examine information using the same skills and questions as fact-checkers
* Read laterally to learn more about the authority and perspective of sources
* Evaluate different types of evidence, from videos to infographics
* Understand how search engines and social media feeds work
* Break bad internet habits like impatience and passivity, and build better ones
I can highly recommend this course to assist you with your research skills.
