In this workshop, educators will learn how to guide students through the process of verifying sources and assessing credibility. Using a hands-on approach, we’ll explore a lesson that demonstrates why certain sources, like .com websites, may lack academic reliability. Participants will walk through an engaging activity that helps students analyze specific claims, identify missing citations, and develop critical research skills.
