In Lesson 2 of YouTube's Digital Citizenship curriculum, we discussed the topics of detecting lies on the Internet and determining whether certain links were harmful. Many students said they have received suspicious emails from companies or have seen pop-up windows (You have won a free iPad!) where companies are trying to lure them to give out personal information. We also discussed ways to determine whether a website is credible or not: figure out what the point of a website is; investigate who developed the website by looking at the host or "about us" section; and follow the rule of three-check three other websites to determine if those facts on the initial website are reliable.
The following videos below were provided by YouTube as a part of Lesson 2:
We also used "The Wayback Machine". This website is hosted by the Internet Archive and it's a great way to see how websites have evolved over the years. The students loved looking at how our school's website has changed over the past 12 years, and they especially liked when we searched and viewed Google and YouTube's changing websites.
