Coaching kids about fake news

While spending time together with your kids and teens you can turn it in an educational game.
Choose together a story on their social media which looks “too good to be true” and explore the following questions:

• Has the story been reported anywhere else?
• Is it on the radio, TV or in the newspapers?
• Have you heard of the media, organization or the author that published the story?
• Does the website where you found the story look genuine? (or is a copycat website that's designed to look like another genuine website)
• Does the website address at the very top of the page look real? Is the end of the website something normal like '.co.uk' or '.com', and not something unusual, like 'com.co'?
• Does the photo or video look normal?
• Does the story sound believable?
