Evaluating News Sources

Being able to determine whether or not a news source is fake is very important these days. As we've seen recently, it is getting more difficult to tell what is legitimate and what isn't. Here are some tips to combat fake news.

​

     Things to ask yourself when you're looking at an article:

​

  • Who is the author/producer/creator of the message? Can you contact them with a question about their piece?

  • Who is the audience?

  • What techniques are being used to get our attention and to make the message believable?

  • Who benefits from the message?

  • Who or what is omitted and why?

​

You can also follow the C.A.R.S. or C.R.A.P Research methods of verifying sources.

A brand new resource available to teachers & students of DCSD! Learn360 provides a wide variety of educational videos, interactives, handouts, etc. Users can edit video clips for projects, create playlists, print worksheets, view maps and much more! Create an account to make folders and organize what you use.

full-length videos, maps, interactives, worksheet/handouts, video clips...

With this tool users have access to thousands of books from many different sources. We recommend that users add both Castle View High School and the Douglas County Public Libraries to their list of preferred libraries. When using the Castle View (or DCSD) OverDrive library, users will enter their single sign-on information.

Castle View High School and Douglas County Libraries have an excellent relationship. The public libraries are great about sharing their resources with our schools and students. Students have access to great research tools when using the provided databases. Students and families are encouraged to use the library for all of their academic and personal needs and interests. Douglas County Library Databases can be immediately accessed from Castle View HS computers. Students will need a library card to access these amazing resources from home.
