Ways to handle Fake News

The first and most important way is to teach critical thinking.  This is the job of all teachers and families.  One really helpful source is Stanford History Education Group's Civic Online Reasoning assessments.  You get 21 lessons/assessments that focus on making sense of information from a variety of digital tools.  Half of the lessons download as Google Forms and you can copy and use, the other half as PDFs.  All of them have detailed rubrics and examples that help you and students make sense of the results.  You'll need the free account to access the lessons, but it's totally worth it!
