Media Concerns

Domains:Students should be aware of the differences between .com/.net and .gov/.edu and which they should seek when looking for quality information. Examples: whitehouse.com, Wikipedia

Ad Creep:The innovative expansion of advertisement leads to children being targeted more and realizing it less. Examples: product placement, digital advertising

Gullibility: New internet users tend to think that all published material is objectively true, whether on a news page, blog post, or video. This can lead especially to poor health habits.

Polarization: The tendency to become more extreme in ones views is exacerbated on social media sites and comment sections.
