How can filter bubbles limit the information we're exposed to? When we get news from our social media feeds, it often only tells us part of the story.

Show students ways to escape the filter bubble and make sure their ideas about the world are being challenged. Approximately 50 mins.

LESSON OBJECTIVES: Define "filter bubble" and explain how it occurs. Reflect on the limitations and drawbacks that filter bubbles cause. Identify strategies for escaping their own filter bubbles.
