Internet Investigator Checklist
✓ Read closely. Does it make sense? Is it believable?
Identify the main idea by analyzing the text features and webpage and by reading the text. Take note of anything that is surprising or hard to believe or that gives you a strong emotional reaction.

✓ Analyze the source. Does it come from a credible, unbiased source?
Find out information about the site owner and author by exploring the site and searching the web.

✓ Look for corroboration. Do other credible sources say the same thing?
See if the main idea and key points of the article are also reported by other credible sites.

To do this, search for the same topic on fact-checking websites such as Snopes.com, FactCheck.org, and major news websites.


4. Don't forget to circle or highlight if it is credible and explain your answer.

Learning Objectives 

Learn about the consequences of identity theft and loss of private information.
Recognize and identify phishing scams on social media.
Practice strategies to avoid identity theft and take action against phishing scams. 
Key Terms 

Private information: Information that can be used to identify you because it is unique to you (e.g., your full name, your address, or your password). 
Phishing scam: When someone poses as an institution, like a bank or a school, and posts a message asking you to provide private information. 
Shortened URL: A web address that has been condensed and that could potentially mislead a user into going into a risky website. 
Prosocial Behaviors

One way someone can try to steal your identity on the internet is by getting you to click on a link or enter information about yourself.
Look out for shortened URLs in posts or private messages. This is a strategy scammers use to make people go into a risky website.
Be wary of messages that sound urgent. Scammers often create posts that make you worry or feel like something is wrong. 

A TestDrive module is a self-guided activity, taking about 20–30 minutes to complete. 
Each module consists of four key sections: 

Tutorial: Learn key social media concepts, definitions, and prosocial behaviors in an interactive tutorial format. 
Guided activity: Participate in a directed activity in which responsible behaviors are modeled and practiced. 2–3 social media posts are shown with clear directions on how to respond and specific actions to take. 
Free-play: Freely explore and interact with the TestDrive social media timeline, which contains posts and comments relevant to the particular module’s topic along with more generic posts. 
Reflection: All posts relevant to the module topic from the free-play session are highlighted.
