The Misinformation podcast, hosted by Aleah and Dana, explores how misinformation has become more present in our everyday lives than ever before. We've included soundbites and other references to enrich the discussion. Our conversation begins with a reflection on how people communicated before the internet. We then introduce several theories, touching on concepts like echo chambers, filter bubbles, selective perspective, and the liar’s dividend. Finally, we offer suggestions for educators, including games and activities that can help students build awareness around these issues.ReferencesAustralian Broadcasting Corporation. (n.d.).
