Use this #informationliteracy moment with your students. Looks legit except when you click on menu to reveal an ad for crypto currency. Other signs? Look closely at the URL. Open up the real CBC website- search the title in quotations.

Learning is fun, free, and all about you. Learning is creating something meaningful and unique to you, not just consuming and regurgitating. Learning is forever and self-driven. -Karen Phan from the student’s desk

Q4: Sports don't always shape the lives of athletes but shape the lives of fans, those in sports related careers, & more. Why are sports important to those beyond athletes. Love the responses of Kabir talking about how much watching sports brings his family together.
