The link above is the reviewed resource that I looked through. 

After exploring the Common Sense Education website, specifically the resource on challenging confirmation bias, here’s how the information can be applied:

One of the reviewed resources in the lesson is Google's "Be Internet Awesome", which provides interactive lessons and games to help students understand key aspects of digital citizenship, including identifying and challenging confirmation bias. This information could be used to design interactive, engaging ELA or social studies lessons that encourage students to critically evaluate online information, recognize potential biases, and develop well-rounded perspectives on current events and research topics.

At the building or district level, this resource could be integrated into a digital citizenship curriculum, providing all students with consistent exposure to skills that are critical in today’s digital landscape. Educators across subjects could benefit from this standardized approach, reinforcing lessons on critical thinking and media literacy, while ensuring students develop a shared understanding of how to navigate online information responsibly.
