News Literacy
To Share or Not to Share
Decide if a social media post is worth sharing! Imagine these are posts on your social media feed. Carefully consider the words, images and source. Decide whether or not to share them with your followers.
Three Tips for Wisely Sharing Online Information:
1. Look at who is behind the information.
Is the source of the original post trustworthy?
2. Ask what evidence supports the post’s claim.
How do you know it’s true?
3. Consult other sources.
This is called reading laterally and it allows you to check claims by checking what other sources say about the claim.
Read each post, then drag the slider to reveal the answer.
