Internet Quiz: Which Statement Is True? Cheat Sheet
- Understand information accuracy - Not every webpage is your trusty friend. Always play detective by checking multiple reputable sources before believing sensational headlines.
- Spot social media echo chambers - Scrolling through the same opinions can trap your brain in a cozy but narrow bubble. Seek out diverse voices to break the cycle and expand your worldview.
- Privacy settings aren't a magic shield - Flipping a switch in your account settings is only step one. Pair privacy toggles with active monitoring, strong passwords, and good habits to keep your data truly safe.
- Blend cognitive and technical skills - Digital literacy is like a superhero duo: one power for analyzing information and another for using tools effectively. Master both to find, evaluate, create, and share content like a pro.
- Watch out for online scams - Even the sharpest eagle-eyed users can get lured by cleverly disguised phishing attempts. Always verify who's emailing or messaging you before clicking that tempting link.
- Learn to spot fake news - False stories can wear a convincing mask, complete with official-looking logos and quotes. Cultivate critical thinking and fact‑checking habits to unmask misinformation.
- Create strong, unique passwords - A long, weird password is your first line of defense, but change them regularly and never reuse across sites. Consider a password manager to keep everything on lockdown.
- Don't confuse incognito mode with invisibility - Private browsing hides your history locally but won't stop websites, ISPs, or your school from seeing what you do. Use a VPN or other tools for real anonymity.
- Recognize cookie-free tracking - Even without cookies, sites can fingerprint your device and track you across the web. Clear your cache, use privacy extensions, and stay informed about rising tracking techniques.
- Understand targeted advertising - Ads that know your interests can feel creepy but also serve up useful info. Stay aware of data collection practices and adjust your settings if personalized ads cross the line.
