#80 Misinformation, Critical Thinking, and the Meteoric Rise of Evan Orticio
Description
We're talking about misinformation with a recent study to round us out as we dive in by soon-to-be doctor of Psychology, Evan Orticio. Matt and Max tackle the crucial topic of equipping our kids with the skills to navigate the chaotic seas of falsehoods and dubious claims. Is shielding them from misinformation doing more harm than good? Spoiler alert: it might be time to lean in instead of shielding!
Join us as we explore a cool study that shows how engaging with misinformation can actually boost kids' critical thinking skills. We’ll discuss the fine balance between trust and skepticism, how to help our kids to question everything (including... what we say?), and the art of navigating the digital minefield of today’s media landscape. Cheers to Evan!
