Kia Ora Everyone!!
WALT: (We are learning to ask questions that help judge the quality of media products)
For cybersmart this week, we did more media. This time we learned how to spot fake media, or fake news sites. Here are some ways you can know if it's fake or not!:
1: Look for fake URLs. If they end with .Lo or .com.co, they're probably fake.
2: Dissect the layout, look for grammatical errors and incorrect dates, bold claims with no sources and sensationalist images.
3: Dig deeper, find out who wrote the article, and who supports the site, if this information does not exist, or you need to register for the information, then question why.
Our task was to make a fake news report about something that would be fake or kind or click bait-y like say something with a picture and then the information is way more boring then you would think! Here is mine! I had a lot of fun making it and I hope you like it!
