Spotting deep fakes and misinformation online is increasingly difficult for adults–so what about children?
Children and Screens held the #AskTheExperts webinar “Unreal: Online Misinformation, Deep Fakes, and Youth” on Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 12pm ET. A panel of cognitive development and digital literacy experts explored how children perceive reality, factors that may make them cognitively susceptible to misinformation, and what parents, caregivers, and educators should know to help children think critically and develop skills to navigate misinformation and deep fakes in their digital lives.
