Research is something that most students think they know how to do, but most people don't even get. Most people are being lied to and fooled constantly - by the news, by other people, by memes that just have a picture and some words. And I want to show students how to figure out what the truth it. Sometimes you see something and you're like "damn! That's crazy!" but then it turns out to be very false. Like, there was this thing going around the Internet the other day about how Caitlyn Jenner supposedly said she looks more feminine than Serena Williams (the tennis player). This was totally false, but many people believed it. And many people don't even know how to find out what is true and what is false. Luckily, there are several ways. One of them is snopes.com

The purpose of snopes is to figure out what is true on the Internet and what is false. But even beyond snopes, I want to teach my students how to look at sources of information (articles, websites, books, videos) and decide if they can trust it or not based on logical reasoning, the credentials of the authors, and looking to see if the data is verified by other sources. And if students can get good at that, they will never be fooled again.
