Trust Me
Journal Title: Media Literacy and Academic Research - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
In the digitalization period projects to support the development of critical thinking are needed to maintain political and societal balance. Rapid changes in technology and information leave a space wherein can form many harmful groups or individuals to influence their respondents with false messages and hoaxes. It is necessary to develop the critical thinking of people from a young age, so the project Trust Me has been created. The aim of the project is to support the education of pupils of primary and secondary schools in the field of media literacy and critical thinking. Through two specialized curriculums students can understand the ways of manipulation with information and learn how to distinguish trustworthy contents on the Internet.
