The digital age has created the need for a new kind of literacy-a literacy that empowers news consumers to determine whether information is credible, reliable and truthful. This is not just a skill; it is a new core competency for the 21st century. So-called “fake news” is hard to spot and spreads easily, leading to disagreements over basic facts. The antidote to the growing challenges posed by this digital revolution is news literacy. This mini news literacy course includes two three-hour sessions that will teach anyone to become a more critical consumer of news.

Nachhaltige Digitalisierung ist eine Digitalisierung, die sich einbettet in die Werte und Normen der Gesellschaft sowie die planetaren Grenzen beachtet. Um zur Umsetzung von nachhaltiger Digitalisierung beizutragen, hat die Volkshochschule Bonn im Rahmen der Learning City Bonn ein modular aufgebautes Weiterbildungsangebot für die DozentInnen entwickelt und stellt es Volkshochschulen und anderen Einrichtungen der Weiterbildung zur Verfügung. abei ist die Kernfrage: Wie können Dozent*innen unterstützt werden, Aspekte einer nachhaltigen Digitalisierung zu beachten und zu vermitteln? Wir verstehen dabei nachhaltige Digitalisierung als Querschnittsthema, das mit unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkten je nach Kurs und Format zur Anwendung kommen kann. Dozent*innen werden sowohl als Weiterbildungsakteure sowie als Multiplikator*innen angesprochen. Als Themenfelder nachhaltiger Digitalisierung wurden erarbeitet: Teilhabe, Klima- und Ressourcenschutz, Privatheit, Selbstbestimmung und Wohlbefinden.

Die Praxisboxen umfassen (für den Anfang) folgende Module:
- Ökologischer Rucksack des Smartphones“
- „Always on? Klimasensibel lehren“
- „Digital inklusiv – Vielfalt online ermöglichen“
- „Downsizing“
- „Sharing is caring“
- „Gemeinsam Spaß statt Social Distancing“
- "#StopFakeNews"
- „Mit Mehrdeutigkeit und Widersprüchen gut leben“
- „Wenn Du nichts bezahlst, bist Du das Produkt!“

Die Praxisboxen sind nach einer jeweils gleichen Systematik aufgebaut, die sich auf Lehr-Lernsituation sowie die Herausforderung der nachhaltigen Digitalisierung bezieht. Sie stellen praxisorientiert Handlungsmöglichkeiten, Tipps sowie Impulse zur Übertragung des Themas auf eigene Kontexte dar. Hinweise zum Weiterlesen werden gegeben. Die Praxisboxen können nach Bedarf ausgewählt werden.

Students jump into learning how to spot fake news by playing a round of Factitious, the game. Next, they meet in groups to share strategies that helped them while playing the game. (A sample infographic of strategies is included, too.) Third, groups of students work together to be the first team to find all four fake news items in The Canadian Infiltration Fake News Game.

 Verifying social media posts is quickly becoming a necessary endeavor in everyday life, let alone in the world of education. Social media has moved beyond a digital world which connects with friends and family and has become a quick and easy way to access news, information, and human interest stories from around the world. As this state of media has become the "new normal," especially for our younger generations, we, educators, find ourselves charged with a new task of teaching our students how to interact with and safely consume digital information.The following three modules are designed to be used as stand-alone activities or combined as one unit, in which the lessons can be taught in any order. "Who Said What?!" is a module focusing on author verification. "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words'' is a module devoted to image verification. "Getting the Facts Straight" is a module designed to dive into information verification. Lastly, there are assessment suggestions to be utilized after completing all three modules.
