In this 2- to 5-hour strategy, students are introduced to Stanford History Education Group’s Civic Online Reasoning strategy "click restraint", a process fact-checkers use to restrain the urge to immediately click the first search results they see. Students will learn how search results are organized and use the selection, clone stamp, and puppet tools in Adobe Photoshop to create an animated GIF to educate others. This project can be adapted for use with Adobe Illustrator.
Adobe Photoshop empowers students to craft professional-looking creative products to share on social media.
This strategy was adapted and extended from the Stanford History Education Group’sCivic Online Reasoning curriculum by Lisa Gottfried, a Digital Design educator and innovator in the K12 PBL space.
