This article does a good job explaining how results end up at the top of search results, why those first results may not be reliable, and how to recognize better results. The short videos were great. So was the John Green one, but it was a little long. Once you create a free account, you have access to all the teacher and student materials. And there is also so much related content for the lesson--it was quite a rabbit hole, fair warning! But great resources here.

I do an Outlook Like a Pro boot camp with students, and I thought this was a good supplement to that. It is workplace focused,  but it can be related to school emails with teachers.
This is a pretty robust simulation and students choose between different scenarios to compose emails about. There is a certificate at the end.

I thought this activity was very well done and that it would be a good one to do together as a class. It is hard to create simulations like this, so it is nice to have one so complete. It has plenty of guided practice, then one for the students to do on their own, and a reflection post at the end. There is even a quiz! Students can print their answers and also see the correct answers with explanations. But the best part was at the very end, when it linked to all the other Modules from Test Drive. Of the 12 listed, 11 of them align with Common Sense Education's lessons!

Although search engines are accepting natural language queries with better results than they used to, I still think it is valuable to teach the Boolean operators and using quote marks to fine tune searches and get better results. The questionnaire resources listed in this section contained two good articles on good Google search tips and good example searches to use.

I watched this video on lateral reading. Because we were together in a group and I didn't feel like trying to pair my ear buds with my laptop, I watched it silently with the closed captioning which was quite handy and helpful. The video is only 3:47 minutes, direct, helpful, and with entertaining graphics. The video presents the Why of lateral reading by comparing Lateral reading to Vertical reading with a case study. It also shows the how - very basics of how to laterally read. I recommend it for use with teachers or students.

Sort Fact from Fiction Online with Lateral Reading

After creating an account I was able to access several lessons related to news/journalism and bias. They were ok, but scrolling way past those lessons, toward the bottom of the page there were some "Fact Check lessons" that seem promising. The two that I looked it started with a picture and asked the "reader" to determine if the information is true. Each one asked the students to use different skills (reverse image search, lateral reading, geolocation, critical observation, etc.)

I assigned the Common Sense Digital Compass interactive game to my former students and required them to play each character and save their results with a screenshot. We did one character a week and used the material to supplement the instruction over digital citizenship that we were doing in class.
