Ed Petrie is a CBBC presenter, actor and comedian. I asked him if he believes internet education is important and what he regards as the most important related subject.
He told me:
We’re currently going through a period in history that is as important as the Industrial Revolution, and that brought about great change and difficulty.
The sooner we all start getting our heads around it, the better.
The most important aspect is teaching children about credible information, and how to judge how much trust you should place in something that’s being reported as a fact.
As I’ve written before, I think we should be encouraging kids to pay attention to the language used in the news they consume, compare stories that matter across at least two news outlets, be wary of anonymous sources and think critically.
