Fact-checking and online responsibility
Mobile Stories provides a web-based publishing tool designed to help students develop media and information literacy skills– such as digital competence, source evaluation, and critical thinking – while creating their own content for digital publication.
By actively researching and producing content with a real audience in mind, students deepen their subject knowledge, improve their communication skills, and enhance their ability to evaluate, discuss, and review sources critically.
Students also have the option to publish their articles on an open platform, reaching a wide audience with well-developed, thoroughly vetted content. Together with other young creators, they can contribute to building a credible platform for youth voices:https://mobilestories.com
