Not everything on the internet is true.

Always check the source of information before you share it. A common method you can use to verify sources is called the CRAAP method. It helps you spot CR… bad information.

 

Currency: How recent is it? For example, during a crisis, you want information that’s as up-to-date as possible.

Relevance: Is it written at the right level for the audience? Is it really about the topic, or something else?

Authority: Who wrote it? Are they qualified to speak on this topic?

Accuracy: Is it true? Can you find evidence for the claims in other reputable sources?

Purpose: Why was it written? Did the author have biases you should consider?

When you come across what might be bunk science… put it through the CRAAP test.
