students need help evaluating online (all!) information or offer suggestions for what to teach students. </span><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:blue">In
<i>Education Week</i>'s “Why Students Can’t Google Their Way to the Truth,” the authors note that the “research we've conducted at Stanford University supports these findings [of lack of evaluative skills]. Over the past 18 months, we administered assessments
that tap young people's ability to judge online information. We analyzed over 7,804 responses from students in middle school through college. At every level, we were taken aback by students' lack of preparation: middle school students unable to tell the difference
between an advertisement and a news story; high school students taking at face value a cooked-up chart from the Minnesota Gun Owners Political Action Committee; college students credulously accepting a .org top-level domain name as if it were a Good Housekeeping
seal.” The article goes on to list three things they've noticed that fact-checkers do, and then notes that "none of this is rocket science. But it's often not taught in school. In fact, some schools have special filters that direct students to already vetted
sites, effectively creating a generation of bubble children who never develop the immunities needed to ward off the toxins that float across their Facebook feeds, where students most often get their news. This approach protects young people from the real world
rather than preparing them to deal with it." I haven't read it yet, but I noticed a second article called, "Do Educators Need Media Literacy as Much as Students Do?"<u></u><u></u></span></p>
