The pandemic shifted millions of students online for learning, entertainment, and social interactions for more extended portions of the day. And the creation and sharing of misinformation multiplied in tandem to meet those viewers. We can use this moment to tap into our learners’ curiosity and inquiry. But we can also use current events to teach critical thinking about information, specifically the differences between informing, persuading, endorsement, and indoctrination.”
