Reality is complicated. Equip your students to become critical thinkers in a data-driven world where “facts” compete to be the “truth”. Learning how data can be manipulated to mislead and distort reality is essential for students growing up in the digital era. This session will guide you in recognizing common tactics such as misleading graphs, cherry-picked statistics, and sample bias. Participate in interactive activities and engage with real-world data to help your students identify and question deceptive data. You’ll gain practical tools and resources to help students become discerning consumers of information, capable of distinguishing truth from manipulation.
