Materials designed to teach disinformation, digital source verification and journalistic fact-checking tools. Peer-to-peer digital media literacy resource where teenagers create and use video fact-checks to learn how to identify misinformation, verify sources, investigate images and videos, and critically evaluate social-media content. It includes free lesson plans designed for approximately one school lesson.
Why it matters for ENACT-AI
The resource directly addresses AI-generated/manipulated content through a dedicated lesson on AI videos, while developing broader critical information and verification skills needed to navigate AI-enhanced information environments.
Learning outcomes
Learners can evaluate online claims, search for reliable sources, verify images and videos, identify manipulation and missing context, recognize clickbait and false quotes, understand narratives and misinformation, use digital verification tools, and critically assess social-media content.
Suggested activity
Show one TFCN peer-produced video, then have learners apply the demonstrated verification technique to a real or teacher-selected social-media claim. Groups present their evidence and explain which sources they consider trustworthy. Finish with a discussion about AI-generated content and how verification strategies need to adapt.
