Octopus Video

This video highlights the importance of teaching critical literacy skills to students and teachers. It used a hoax website about an made-up endangered tree octopus that many students believed was an authentic website containing all the information required to write an information report. The video acknowledged that in some countries, ICT and evaluating digital resources is taught in schools and teacher education courses. However, there is still a need for support for critical literacy skills in many skills both for teachers and students.
