Misinformation, Disinformation, and Fake News SIFT: Day 6

5 Types of Misinformation

Day 6 Activity

At the conclusion of today's lesson, you should be able to identify 5 types of misinformation that you are likely to encounter online. 

This Checkology lesson on the types of misinformation and their possible effects in the real world is a little longer than the other lessons in this unit and takes about 20 minutes to complete, but the lesson seems to work most effectively if you complete it all at once.

Note: In part 8, be sure to view all 5 videos on the various types of misinformation that are listed in the panel on the left column of the screen.
