Great video! Especially important to apply this year with all the conflicting, emotionally charged, politically-biased, widely-differing COVID-19 information we're being bombarded with and must decide how to handle. Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE this video. I'm working on an online information literacy course for my university and would love to use it as an introductory video. I tried to embed it, but received a message that it's not playable on other websites. Is there a way I could share it? I would include a citation, of course!

[smokeygotrobbed]

This is very helpful. May I use this for my school project. I'll ensure to cite you as well. Thank you :)
