I did a quick presentation for 6th graders on website evaluation. The link is the the Slides. I have added some notes on each slide to give a better idea of what I'm telling students. Here's a link to the bookmark I give them. I couldn't fit both "Appropriate" and "Accurate" on it, but most 6th graders at our school keep a JAR (Journal of Academic Research) so they paste the bookmark in their JAR and take notes next to it.
I also have students look at other sites and analyze in small groups, using what they learned in the presentation. Interestingly, I just spent the day at the local university learning from the librarians there about how they present research to freshman. One of the librarians mentioned she doesn't like the CRAP acronym because she doesn't want students to think currency is most important. So I will be sure to stress that to students. Could be a good discussion question for them, too!

In an age where the majority of us get our news through social media, the rise of fake news sites, hoaxes and misinformation online is concerning, especially considering that many young people lack the skills necessary to judge the credibility of information they encounter online.

It’s on the news, almost every single day. Fake news is being shared, discussed, and analyzed frequently online and in the classrooms. Studies from Stanford to Pew Research have suggested that this topic has been and will continue to be affecting students and their information consumption and research needs but how can librarians make sense of fake news in the research workflow?

Web evaluation has been a standard information literacy offering for years and has always been a challenging topic for instruction librarians. Over time, the authors had tried a myriad of strategies to teach freshmen how to assess the credibility of Web sites but felt the efforts were insufficient. By familiarizing themselves with the cognitive development research, they were able to effectively revamp Web evaluation instruction to improve student learning. This article discusses the problems of traditional methods, such as checklists; summarizes the cognitive development research, particularly in regards to its relationship to the ACRL Information Literacy Standards; and details the instructional lesson plan developed by the authors that incorporates cognitive development theories.

Over the years I've written quite a bit Dan Russell's work and the concept of using images as the basis of web search challenge activities for students. Last month, Dr. Russell posted another fun search challenge that could be completed by middle school and high school students. That challenge is called Real or Fake? Via Elizabeth E Charles
