SEVENTH TASK

ABOUT FAKE NEWS AND INFORMATION

The fake news have taken a great strength with the arrival of globalization. Any person with a  spirit of sabotage, simply diffuses a fact, exaggerating it, energizing the social networks, until it becomes viral and without any veracity.

Nowadays we find a lot of information about many topics, but is our responsibility understand what is good and what is bad for us and even have to teach our students to have that responsibility

To start teaching that responsibility, we have to take into account challenges that we can face, one of them can be the fake information that we can found. 

On the teacher's side, there is a lot that can be done in the classroom. Being a facilitator of learning, a guide for students, a person who directs them to their own knowledge with doubt and the desire to go further, is more important than a grade. The critical pedagogy addresses those issues, and according to one of its main promoters Paulo Freire, who posited that the most important thing is to give the individual the possibility of looking for what he really wants to know.

This is a survey about this important topic, is in Espanish but is related to the task:
