Teaching Lateral Reading
Evaluation of where information comes from is key to deciding whether it can be trusted. Lateral reading, leaving a website to read what other sources/sites say about it, is according to this website, the best method to judging the trustworthiness of the information.
The Civic Online Reasoning project from Stanford University offers a sequence of lessons for teachers to use to model lateral reading and guide students through a series of structured activities to improve and develop their lateral reading skills.
