Critical Thinking for the Digital Age
Critical Thinking for the Digital Age is a 16-week, half-credit homeschool course for grades 8-12. By the end, teens will be better prepared to think critically about what they see online.
Requiring three to four hours each week, students learn practical ways to evaluate information and communicate responsibly online. The course combines reading, writing, videos, worksheets, and creative projects. It is designed for independent, self-paced work, but it includes questions parents can use to spark discussion.
