In an age when information is everywhere and misinformation spreads quickly, knowing how to evaluate a source's reliability is one of the most essential skills students can develop. This collection of resources gives students and teachers practical tools and resources for checking the credibility of websites, articles, images, and other digital content -- helping learners move from passive consumers of information to critical, discerning thinkers. Whether used during a research project, a current events discussion, or a media literacy lesson, these resources build the habit of asking the right questions before trusting and sharing information online.

In the Classroom
Use these resources for research projects across all subject areas, giving students a structured way to vet the websites, articles, and digital content they plan to use before incorporating them into a paper, presentation, or multimedia project -- helping teachers spend less time redirecting students away from unreliable sources and more time coaching deeper thinking. During current events discussions, teachers can use these tools to model real-time fact-checking, pulling up a news story or social media claim and walking students through the process of evaluating its credibility together as a class, building the habit of pausing and questioning before accepting information at face value.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.
