Gigafact's fact briefs offer rich opportunities for classroom engagement and digital citizenship development. Students can analyze the structured format of the fact briefs, including the question-and-answer breakdown and linked social media posts, to understand how information is presented and verified. Topics include Democracy and Elections, Economy, Justice, Education, Immigration, and more. These briefs can serve as case studies in media literacy lessons, prompting discussions on critical thinking, source evaluation, and responsible sharing online. Classroom debates and collaborative discussions based on fact briefs encourage students to engage in respectful discourse while honing their fact-checking skills. By integrating Gigafact's resources, educators can empower students to become informed digital citizens who critically evaluate information, engage in civil online conversations, and promote responsible sharing practices.

tag(s): media literacy (105)

In the Classroom

Introduce your class to Gigafact on your interactive whiteboard or with a projector by showing them the listings under one of the "hot" topics from the top menu bar. At the time of this review, Democracy and Elections and Immigration are "hot" topics. Have small groups use RumorGuard, reviewed here to double-check the facts presented by Gigafacts.
