Checkology® Virtual Classroom

The News Literacy Project’s Checkology® is a free virtual classroom with over a dozen lessons, exercises and challenges to teach students how to tell facts from falsehoods, identify bias, seek out reliable sources and understand the role of a free press in democracy.

Ideal for educators of social studies, English language arts, civics, history, media, journalism and science. Students learn to identify the traits of quality journalism, name the five freedoms protected by the First Amendment and understand the watchdog role of the press.
