A few good sites/pages for learning some media literacy and spotting online misinformation:

Snopes.com - a site that’s been around for twenty years (long before Google search engine was a thing) debunking urban legands and, more recently, fake news and misinformation.

Checkyourfact.com - a site similar to snopes that debunks fake news and viral “facts”. It’s the place I found out that post about Kraft releasing a rainbow coloured mayo called “Real Gaydo” for pride month was a satirical photoshop piece that was stolen from its original artist’s Instagram and shared around as a real product on Facebook and other sites.

School Library Journal - has a page of resources for teaching students and teachers how to spot misinformation and fake news and improve media literacy.

NAMLE.net - aka the National Association for Media Literacy Education, the leading nonprofit membership organization dedicated to advancing media literacy education in the United States.

Newslit.org - an educational nonprofit that provides programs and resources for learning media literacy. What’s cool about this site is they have an extensive number of quizzes designed to help you test your media literacy skills, which give you tips along with the question answers about how to spot and avoid misinformation and fake news. All of which you can try out for yourself here.

WHO THEY ARE:

NAMLE, the National Association for Media Literacy Education, is the leading nonprofit membership organization dedicated to advancing media literacy education in the United States.

Media Literacy is a more pressing concern every year, and NAMLE aims to help people see it that way. That means raising awareness, performing research, and providing resources for media literacy education—every step of the process that will bring Media Literacy to a place of priority in our lives.

Bị thầy giáo mắng là "dốt", Lê Nam quyết tâm tìm hiểu chính công việc của thầy mà không ngờ đó là con đường khởi nghiệp đưa anh đến thành công.

Năm nay 30 tuổi, Lê Nam (quê Thái Bình) từng có một tuổi thơ gian khó. Gia đình li tán, anh sống với bà nội từ nhỏ nên tính tự lập và khao khát thay đổi cuộc sống ít nhiều có ảnh hưởng đến hoạt động kinh doanh hiện tại.

Đặt chân tới Hà Nội năm 2005 với hy vọng trở thành sinh viên Đại học Sư phạm song không thành, Nam tiếp tục ôn luyện. Tuy nhiên, giấc mơ làm thầy giáo vẫn dang dở suốt bao năm. "Biết rằng mình không hợp với thi cử, tôi quyết định trụ lại Hà Nội tìm kiếm cơ may", anh kể lại.

Great conversation today between NAMLE and three amazing media literacy organizations -- the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture (NAMAC), Look Sharp at Ithaca College, and the LAMP in New York City.

Great points about current work, collaborations, and thoughts about issues like fair use in media literacy education, connections between media literacy and Common Core, and national conversations about youth media and media literacy.
