Abstract

Teenagers are among the heaviest users of social media and the internet, and this makes them largely susceptible to encountering and disseminating online fake news. This chapter suggests points for educators to consider when crafting a curriculum to equip teenagers with the skills to combat online falsehoods. Drawing upon research on defining, determining, and dealing with deliberate online falsehoods in Singapore, this chapter suggests lesson objectives, content, learning experiences, and assessments.
