The History.com article 6 Civilizations That Mysteriously Collapsed examines the sudden and often unexplained declines of six ancient civilizations: the Maya, Indus Valley, Ancestral Puebloans, Cahokia, Easter Island, and Greenland's Norse settlements. The article explores contributing factors such as drought, deforestation, resource depletion, social upheaval, and climate change, providing insights into how these societies thrived before facing challenges that led to their downfall. This resource is ideal for educators teaching history, geography, or anthropology, as it encourages students to analyze the interplay between human activity and environmental factors. Teachers can use it to promote critical thinking through discussions, research projects, or comparative studies on the rise and fall of civilizations throughout history.

The FLUF Test for Artificial Intelligence, developed by Dr. Jennifer Parker, is an educational framework designed to help students critically evaluate AI-generated content. The website offers a step-by-step guide for identifying content that is Factually correct, Logical, Useful, and Fanfare (FLUF). This resource is particularly valuable for educators aiming to incorporate media literacy and ethical considerations about AI into their classrooms. Using the FLUF test, teachers can equip students with essential critical thinking skills to assess AI-generated outputs, fostering responsible and informed use of technology in academic and real-world contexts. If your district blocks YouTube, you may not be able to view the videos explaining the process.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (165), creating media (13), media literacy (107)
In the Classroom
Provide students with AI-generated essays or summaries on a topic and have them apply the FLUF Test to identify issues in Format, Language, Usability, and Fanfare. Assign a task requiring AI assistance, like generating a story or answering a complex question, and have students refine their initial prompts using the FLUF Test framework to improve AI responses. Students could work in groups to co-author a story with AI tools like ChatGPT, reviewed here, and apply the FLUF Test to polish their AI-generated drafts. Stories can be shared, and peers can evaluate them based on the FLUF rubric.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Ova Prima Foundation website is a clever satirical resource, presenting itself as an organization dedicated to studying fictional "Ovaprimates," a species that supposedly reproduces by laying eggs. Teachers can use this site to introduce students to media literacy by highlighting how easy it can be to create a professional-looking website filled with fabricated information. This resource serves as an excellent tool for teaching critical thinking and the importance of verifying sources and not believing everything encountered online at face value. It encourages students to question credibility and recognize the need for research in today's digital world.
tag(s): evaluating sources (28), internet safety (112), literacy (121), media literacy (107), satire (6)
In the Classroom
Assign students to explore the Ova Prima Foundation website and identify claims made about the fictional species. Then, have them use reliable online resources to fact-check the information. Students can work in groups to create satirical websites about a fictional species or event. Present students with articles from both real scientific websites, such as National Geographic or Scientific American, and The Ova Prima Foundation. Ask them to compare and contrast the language, claims, and structure of the two types of content. Provide students with a "red flags" checklist for unreliable websites (examples: no clear author, outlandish claims, lack of sources). They will mark which "red flags" appear as they explore The Ova Prima Foundation site. Like this activity?
