4.  ? Has the story been reported anywhere else?
Is it on the radio, TV or in the newspapers?
Have you heard of the organisation that published the story?
Does the website address at the very top of the page look real? Is the end of the website something normal like '.co.uk' or '.com', and not something unusual, like 'com.co'?
Does the website where you found the story look genuine? (meaning it doesn't look like a copycat website that's designed to look like another genuine website)
Does the photo or video look normal?
Does the story sound believable?  ?

5. What is digital literacy?
Offline literacy involves reading, writing, grammar and syntax.
Meanwhile, digital literacy includes various tools, devices, apps, pictures, moving images and sound. Children must learn how this ‘digital syntax’ can be manipulated and structured to create meaning, and approach what they see with a critical eye.
Jason Budge, CAS Master Teacher

Identifying fake news
Find five facts that you thing need checking
What will be your process for checking them?

11. Digital Literacy + Creativity
Researched similar sites
Planned our ‘fake news’ website
Decided what would be on each page
What text would we need?
What images would we need?
Created a PowerPoint presentation using appropriate template
Created slides for each page (copy/paste)
Added internal and external hyperlinks
Took photos and edited using Paint, iPad filters and Irfanview
Greenscreened some images we couldn’t find elsewhere (DoInk)
Chose an appropriate font for the website using DaFont
Checked it with a friend – did it look convincing?
Decided whether to share online or not – Office 365 and embed option

13. Using creativity to understand (and change) the digital world
Fake news is not new
Technology makes it easier to share, and harder to spot
Consequences now are more problematic
Important to teach children to check and search
Give them opportunities to build their ‘digital syntax’ by creating ‘fake news’ which combines text, images and sound
Talk about the impact of their creations
