Human beings are now exposed on a daily basis to more information than ever before. Take a moment to think about everything you read, heard, or saw today in all the different formats now used to push out new material to the public. Then ask yourself how well you actually processed most of that information. Most people will admit that they have difficulty differentiating between what's important and what isn't, let alone how reliable any of it is.
There are strategies anyone can use that will help them determine the validity of the information they encounter every day. The material presented in this area of the Instructional Activities section of this website are designed to help educators and students be successful at determining if what they are reading, hearing, and watching is trustworthy.
