In this video, we explore how to navigate the fast-paced world of social media with digital literacy, a critical skill for finding reliable information amidst overwhelming and often misleading content. Learn why popularity or verified accounts don’t guarantee credibility and how confirmation bias can trap us in echo chambers. Discover practical strategies for effective information-seeking: slow down, use hashtags and filters to explore diverse perspectives, compare posts with trusted sources, and verify facts before sharing. By mastering fact-checking, source evaluation, and context awareness, you can transform social media feeds into meaningful insights, avoid emotional manipulation, and make informed decisions in both digital and real life.
