Many teachers already utilize hoax websites to help students think critically about website credibility. Here are a few of my favorites, as well as a few that are new to me. (Click on the images to access the websites.) If you have used others that have worked well in the classroom, please share them in the comments.
Please remember to always preview resources before using them. If you plan to use any of these websites, double check that they are still active and that the content is appropriate for your audience. (Links to hoax websites tend to die as the creators discontinue maintaining them.)
