My Take
Through this game, students can learn how social media and news intersect to manipulate public opinion and know about the five types of manipulation. Students can intuitively realize the huge influence of media manipulation by playing the role of media manipulators, thus thinking critically about the news and posts they see.
How I Use It
After students know several manipulation types through this online game, I will ask students to identify real cases corresponding to different types of manipulation on social media, which can increase their deep understanding of online manipulation.
