It’s great to have some attention paid to what is happening to combat misinformation. Media literacy and critical thinking are essential pieces of what we need to keep at the forefront of our thinking in K-12 education. The phrase “teaching them to be digital detectives” strikes me. Beyond misinformation, many other subtle messages are sent via media. How are we teaching students and our adult population to recognize, understand and be informed thinkers? Way to go Finland!
