Digging into Digital Citizenship
The LEGIT-O-METER
Help your students develop their skills in digital literacy by reviewing a few of these key pieces.
Lesson idea:
Have your students come up with a number of questions or themes that they want to pursue, then have them locate five articles of varying "trustworthiness"
Challenge them to rank the five sources, according to trustworthiness, and identify why they have ranked them in that order.
Have them summarize what they learned from the articles and maybe where they noticed different information.
See if they can come up with some further questions on the topic of theme that they might like to follow a little further.
