    Abstract

    Instilling in young people appropriate information literacy skills is urgent. In the attention economy, time is precious, and it is a poor strategy to engage deeply with dubious claims. Instead, students should acquire the means to quickly decide which claims are worth their attention. With ACT school teachers, we co-developed educational resources, teaching students to identify dubious claims and to verify them using Wikipedia.
