In today’s digital landscape, the internet serves as both a treasure trove of information and a minefield of misinformation.

Additionally, fostering critical thinking is crucial for mitigating misinformation. Lastly, educators can creatively integrate information literacy into classrooms, ensuring students develop essential skills for evaluating and engaging with digital content.
