Persist like a squirrel! (see below)
Look at EVERY line of code until you find your mistake.

1) Who's behind the data?
2) Is it relevant?
3) Is the data presented accurately? Charts and infographics can often distort and misrepresent legitimate data. Infographics frequently use convincing images that distract viewers from the data or misrepresent it. Charts can also be manipulated to distort data. One of the most common strategies is to deceive viewers by altering the scales of charts. For example, expanding the scale of a chart can give the illusion that a phenomenon is much smaller or less important than it is. Conversely, restricting the range of a scale can make a change or effect appear much larger than it is in reality.

1) keyword search based on the content of the video.  If the keyword search turns up results, look to see if the video has been posted on reputable sites. If so, use those sites to learn more about the video and watch the full video yourself.

However, if the video has only been posted on sites of doubtful reliability, it could be a sign that the video is bogus.
• who made it
• where it came from
• has it been altered (image or voice)
• deep fake
2) Reverse image search
3) All text has context

If you see or read something on the internet ask:
1) Who wrote this?
2) What authority do they have?
3) What evidence do they have to prove what they say?
4) Is the evidence GOOD evidence?
5) Do they use the evidence fair?
6) Is the evidence relevant?

# data[].attributes.body
1) Is the web address the same as the site you are checking?
2) Is the title one you recognize?
3) Can you learn from something useful from reading the little bit of text below the title?
4) Learn from what is on one entire search results page.

# data[].attributes.body
• Look down the whole page
• First just read the titles
• Click open the ones that you know are from reliable sources:  Wikipedia, Sourcewatch, Snopes, greenpeace
• Look at the references these sources give to back up what they are saying.

• To see if a site is credible, read about it on other websites. Do a Google search using the name of the website. The FIRST website in a Google search is not necessarily the BEST site.

You know that there is no such thing as Spider-Man. The Spider-Man costume is really amazing but behind the costume is just an ordinary man. The "special effects" movies can do with computers makes it look like he can fly, climb buildings, and save the world. But you know he's an actor.

* Websites are also "costume".  So rule #1 is: You have to look behind the costume (or LOOKS of a website) and see what is really there.
Now go to the Co2 Science website.
http://www.co2science.org/index.php
What do you see there?
• Are there good things?
• Are there not-so-good things?
• Remember:  Even a site that is not telling the truth will have some good things on it.
• ASK YOURSELF:
Who's behind the costume? (This is really, REALLY important.) Who is really giving the information?
But wait! You don't have to decide alone if the site is telling you the truth.

Authority established.

Does the author have education, experience, and expertise in the field?

Purpose/Point of view.

Does the author have an agenda beyond education or information?  How was the information produced?

Respected news sources, for example, have processes in place to ensure the information they share is correct.

Fact-checking sites like Snopes, Politifact, and FactCheck.org also employ experts who investigate claims, and processes in place to correct mistakes.

Rather than seeing a site's perspective (way of viewing something) as bad, we must instead learn to factor perspective into our evaluation of a source.

Just because a site has political bias, that shouldn’t be a reason to discount them as a source of information. Rather, we should read what they say with the understanding that they are likely to see the issues and present evidence in a way that supports their perspective.

Publisher.

Does the publisher have an agenda?

List of sources (bibliography).

Is the evidence reliable, sensible, and accessible?

Year of publication.

Does the date of publication affect the information?

In coding we learned to solve problems, think clearly, find mistakes and correct them.  Now we need to use those skills for another problem!  FAKE NEWS (lies) on the internet.

> SO NOW LET'S LEARN PROBLEM SOLVING ON THE INTERNET.
THE PROBLEM: HOW TO KNOW IF WHAT YOU ARE READING IS TRUE OR NOT TRUE.

How would you write code for making a sandwich?  What would you tell the computer to do?

STEP BY STEP, tell me how to make a sandwich.
Student: Take a piece of bread.
Teacher: What size bread?
Student:  Cut in half.
Teacher:  In half which way?  (See pictures below.)
Student: Take a little  piece of lettuce.
Teacher:  What does "little" mean?  A computer needs an exact measurement to do what you want it to do.
Student: Take a little piece of sausage.
Student: Take a little piece of cheese.
Student:  Take again a little  piece of lettuce.
Student: Put another little piece of bread on top.
Teacher: On top of what?

We are learning to code to design and create phone apps.
design: is how the app LOOKS.
create:  is how the app WORKS.

1) "Coding" is the language of the future. It is as important as knowing how to read.
2) Learning to code gives you a new way to think. Coding will help you think more clearly.
3) Learning to code helps you learn to solve (to find answers to) life problems:
• When you code, everything you do is taking steps to get to a solution. You just need to take one step at a time to solve ANY problem, even a big problem.
• When you code, you turn BIG problems into many small parts you can understand.

AN `AL GORITHM is a recipe for a computer. Step-by-step, it tells the computer how to do something.
DEBUGGING: Finding and fixing errors (mistakes) in a computer program.
EVENT: An action that causes the computer to do something. When you type a letter, to the computer, it is "an event".  When you click your mouse, it is an event.
JAVA: One language a computer speaks.
LOOPS: Loops are an action you repeat.
X:  The symbol used to show the left or right placement of an object.   x --------------------------- x
Y:  The symbol sued to show the up or down placement of an object.             Y

Learning computer language is not hard to learn. BUT THERE IS 1 IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER:

If you write a sentence in English and misspell a word, I will still understand you. But if we make the SMALLEST MISTAKE writing to a computer, the computer will not understand.  The computer will do nothing . . . or do something you did not want it to do.
This is maybe the HARDEST part of learning computer programing.  You work and work and work and then try to run your program and it doesn't work!  WHY?  You look and look and then find SUCH A SMALL MISTAKE!  So we must work very carefully.
So here are 5 coding rules:
1)  THINK  CAREFULLY.
2)  BE EXACT.
3)  NEVER HURRY.
4)  GO STEP-BY-STEP TO SOLVE BIG PROBLEMS.
5)  PERSIST LIKE A SQUIRREL!  (see videos  > .)
