๐Ÿ” EXPLORE: What is Prebunking?

Ever heard the term โ€œan ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cureโ€? Turns out that may be true when it comes to mis-, dis- and mal- information, too! โ€œPrebunkingโ€ refers to the strategy of exposing young people to repeated content about how false information works, alongside several harmless examples. This repeated exposure works as an intellectual antibody, effectively inoculating people against the potentially harmful content they may connect with in the future. All of this has us thinking about โ€œprebunkingโ€ playlists or choice boards that could be used repeatedly as part of research units throughout the school year.
