The second edition of this best-selling classroom guide helps
students understand why digital literacy is a crucial skill for
their education, future careers, and participation in democracy.
Offering practical strategies for assessing information online,
this guide provides students with the tools to locate reliable
sources and websites among the clickbait and viral videos that
pervade the web. The guide's hands-on activities, germane readings,
and lesson plans give students strategies for reading and analyzing
data visualizations; finding and evaluating credible sources;
learning how to spot fake news; fact-checking; crafting a research
question; effectively conducting searches on Google and on library
catalogs and databases; finding peer-reviewed publications;
evaluating primary sources; and understanding disinformation and
misinformation, filter bubbles, propaganda, and satire in a variety
of sources-including websites, social media posts, infographics,
videos, and more (on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
TikTok, and YouTube). New to the second edition: * attention to the
ethical dimensions of digital technology, including privacy issues
and bias in search algorithms-with an accompanying lesson plan * an
emphasis on how digital literacy can help stem racism, sexism,
ableism, and the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes * instruction
on inclusive research and citation practices to avoid perpetuating
systemic bias * a new chapter, "Composing in Digital Spaces," that

accessibility * a new and up-to-date reading, "The Real History of
