Internet Safety Day

 

Internet Safety Day

 

Today in SEAL KS3 read through a number of Fake News articles, those which verged on the ridiculous to those that could have more serious implications.

The class were very keen to share their experiences of Fake News and how it is important to have an understanding about the world around us and form our own opinions.

We discussed how to spot Fake News, why it can be harmful as well as how quickly these stories can be shared online.

Pupils were given the opportunity to read the top “news” stories of 2022 and who the stories may affect.

Here is a sample of some of the topics we discussed.
