Abstract

This module is geared toward students grades 9-12. The goal of this module is to develop the skills to evaluate digital sources by considering their context, the dissemination of information, and the perspectives/agendas of the authors and publishers. Students will consider how algorithms and “filter bubbles” play a role in online research. By the end of this module, students will have increased ability to evaluate sources and critically analyze context.
