The Checkology
Difference
Checkology is free for everyone.
The Checkology virtual classroom
is NLP’s signature browser-based
digital learning platform.
Students learn how to navigate the
information landscape by developing news
literacy knowledge, skills and habits.
Through Checkology’s lessons and supplemental
activities, educators equip middle and high school
students with the tools needed to evaluate and
interpret information and to determine what to trust,
share and act on. Students learn how to identify
credible information, seek out reliable sources and
apply critical thinking skills to differentiate factbased content from falsehoods such as viral rumors,
conspiracy theories and manipulated images and text.
They also gain an understanding of the importance
of the First Amendment to our democracy. Featuring
relevant examples from social media and news
sites, these lessons resonate with students, test
their understanding and lead them to mastery.
