CHAT QUESTIONS:

YOU’VE BEEN FAKED: UNCOVERING TRUTH ONLINE THROUGH DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP

1. What is fake news?

2. Why do people make fake news? What do you think is their purpose?

3. What makes fake news online so believable?

4. How to you evaluate a website to detect fake news?

5. Responsibility is the ability to respond to a situation. What can you do if you find fake news online?

*These same 5 questions will be used for the Slow Chat all month long. Where necessary, questions have been reworded for younger Tweeters. We recommend classes spend time answering the questions ahead of time so time during the chat can be spent liking tweets, retweeting, quoting tweets in reply, and collaborating with others.
