I explain how certain clickbait websites make money with advertisements (more clicks, more money, no matter if the news are fake or not). This explains why someone would bother write lies and fake news on purpose. On the other hand it is important to understand that some of the fake news sites have a hidden (or quite obvious) agenda. 

There are some fake news sites in Finland that are very popular. The most widely read site is very racist and islamophobic and some people share their ""news"" very often in social media. That is how many students (and adults, too) also keep seeing these headlines even if they don't necessarily go to the site themselves."]]> 2017-11-17 09:07:18 UTC https://padlet.com/MadsSode/eiincsjz3x17/wish/208017549 MadsSode https://padlet.com/MadsSode/eiincsjz3x17/wish/208017591 Marly de Haas It takes a lot of time to explain the difference between real and fake news.]]> 2017-11-17 09:07:28 UTC https://padlet.com/MadsSode/eiincsjz3x17/wish/208017591 MadsSode https://padlet.com/MadsSode/eiincsjz3x17/wish/208017623 Marly van Geel Especially students have problems to understand that not everything they read on internet is true.]]> 2017-11-17 09:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/MadsSode/eiincsjz3x17/wish/208017623 MadsSode https://padlet.com/MadsSode/eiincsjz3x17/wish/208017659 Jette Friis Tuca It influences my work and students when we work with online information and newspaper articles. We need to verify the sender or writer, the media before we start analyzing. When it comes to students knowledge about various topics, I sometimes have to inform them that they have found misleading information.

Sometimes the influence is clearly refutable when the issues are discussed and examined in detail, but what is more is that fake news also affects the students' attitudes and world view and those can be much more difficult to ascertain and address.
