Seems funny to imagine them "savvy" but not being able to sort fact from fiction. I'm not sure that knowing how to use something make one "savvy."
Anyway, I suppose it's a good start, since many adults aren't even attuned to it. Do you think it will work?
Teaching Web-Savvy Students to Develop Fake-News Filters
By James Barron
Lesson plans are aimed at steeping students in news literacy, which involves determining whether an article or a video is real — and if it is real, whether it is, for example, a news story or an advertisement made to look like a news report.

Or better yet, educate the young darlings and let them decide for themselves what is real and what is fake.
I'd go with that. IF education was truly education.
When I read the first post, my question was "how do kids steeped in a liberal education system know what's true?" Even much of our history is being changed to suit the progressive march to enlightenment.
Whatever they read would line up with what they've been taught and would be accepted as true.
Anything that departs from that would be labeled false.
Truth doesn't have a bias; as long as truth is being reported, it's not "fake news", even if you wish it wasn't true.
