When a Good Soul Meets, a Merchant and a Likes Hunter

The task of this project was to design a solution that will help teachers in secondary schools in teaching media education. As part of my solution, I focused on the issue of misinformation, specifically their creators and motivation for their dissemination. During the research, I discovered the activity “When a Good Soul Meets, a Merchant and a Likes Hunter” published in the Dezinformační dezinfekce handbook by Člověk v tísni. I decided to breathe a more playful spirit into this activity, in the form of an online quiz. I transformed the educational activity into Kahoot! presentation, resp. quiz game, which is intended to help teachers lead the lesson and to arouse greater interest in students in the activity and the related topic of misinformation. To participate in the quiz, students should use their mobile phones, through which they will individually (or in groups) answer the questions that the teacher presents on the projection board (screen). Thanks to the use of mobile devices in the class and the overall implementation in a digital gamified form, which is enriched with appropriate memes, I expect greater active involvement of students in this activity and stronger retention of their interest (compared to the offline variant of the original activity). Part of my output is a simple guide for teachers as an online presentation.
