1/9 Lateral reading, what's it all about? A bunch of people have asked for resources. A lot of stuff has been scattered across the Web. So here it is in one place @ramosclass @Inquiredlearn
2/9 First, some background. Here's the WSJ's story on our original 2016 study https://www.wsj.com/articles/most-students-dont-know-when-news-is-fake-stanford-study-finds-1479752576
3/9 And here's a link to the Executive Summary (and you can see all the assessments at http://sheg.stanford.edu , under 'civic online reasoning') https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:fv751yt5934/SHEG%20Evaluating%20Information%20Online.pdf
4/9 Quick (and amazingly useful) Primer on Lateral reading by @UKnowHGSE https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/uk/18/06/digital-native-digital-expert
5/9 And this great video from the incomparable @johngreen's @TheCrashCourse using @SHEG_Stanford's research and @mediawise (this one is 12 minutes, but watch the whole series)
6/9 To understand more about the research (and to see it put into a larger context), nothing beats @katysteinmetz's feature article in TIME MAGAZINE http://time.com/5362183/the-real-fake-news-crisis/

8/9 And if you don't follow @holden's blog (and the indispensable wisdom and common sense he provides on a weekly basis), you should. Here's just one example of priceless advice https://hapgood.us/2018/08/21/the-always-check-approach-to-online-literacy/
9/9 Finally, here's my take on how to save democracy, all in under 500 words
