CHAT QUESTIONS: #BreakTheFake
1. What is “fake” news and why do you think “fake” news spreads so quickly?
2. How do you know when you are reading “fake” news?
3. Have you heard of, or experienced “fake” news? What happened?
4. Why is it important to make sure that what you are posting is true?
5. What can you do to prevent the spreading of “fake” news?
*The same 5 questions will be used for the Slow Chat all month long. We recommend classes spend time answering the questions ahead of time so time during the chat can be spent liking tweets, retweeting, quoting tweets in reply, and collaborating with others.
