<p>In the last section, you learned that middle and high school students have a hard time sorting truth from fiction online. Researchers from the Stanford History Education Group found that Stanford University freshmen and award-winning, tenured history professors also struggled with these same kinds of tasks. But one group of internet users excelled at efficiently and effectively evaluating sources online: fact-checkers at news organizations. In this video, Sam Wineburg explains how these fact checkers aren’t smarter than anyone else; they just search the web very differently. </p>
