Workshops are held on Zoom and last 60 minutes.

Contemporary Verification Skills (Grades 7-12)

Participants will be introduced to CTRL-F’s Verification Skills methodology and three core skills, and given demonstrations of the techniques before applying the learning to guided hands-on practice. Examples will include false/misleading as well as reliable information, drawn from a range of online sources. These lessons can be used by teachers of any grade level, but are designed with students in grades 7-12 in mind.
