For any educator who is concerned about the way fake news is thrown around or is concerned about the alarming about of actual fake news, you want to pick up this book. It covers the background, the numerous types, and how to recognize and circumvent misinformation and inaccurate information. LeGarde is a well-known school librarian/educator and I had the privilege of seeing her at a Florida conference. In Fact vs. Fiction, she is just as dynamic and easy to listen to as she is in person and she not only breaks it all down for educators, she helps them recognize their own bias as well as gives dozens of resources that they can use in the classroom, school library/media center, or in their community to teach discernment.This is a crucial topic right now and educators must be willing to jump in and teach students to think critically about what they are seeing, not only on tv news, but on their many social media feeds.I bought this book to help me plan a lesson in February on Fake News as it is a subject I am well aware of, but do not know enough to speak confidently. I found myself taking notes and editing my lesson throughout the reading of this book, as well as looking up most of the high school resources listed in the book. I have found several resources I will be using in my lesson and it has really helped me flesh out my ideas.This is published by ISTE, a widely recognized nonprofit organization that encourages educators of all backgrounds to work together on the use of technology in education as well as inspiring innovation. I highly recommend any of their books to educators that are forward-thinking.  Read Less
