Educational Links

BadNews A short online game for anyone who wants to learn firsthand how easy it is to create and distribute fake news (fun fact: I’ve played this game before and it is very fun while also being totally horrifying).

The game Factitious would pair wonderfully with this BadNews.

BLM Virtual “Reading Room” a gorgeously made educational room with links to educational videos, read alouds, and more! (Note: Despite all our digging, we can’t figure out who made this and shared it with the public, nor can anyone else we follow. When we find out, we’ll let you all know!)
