Deepfakes and AI-Generated Content

Deepfakes, AI-generated images and text; how to spot them and why they matter; the importance of checking sources; not everything online is real

Lesson

Set out your lesson

Pause before sharing and explain what would make a startling claim more trustworthy.

Before teaching

Use this short check, then start teaching.

Activity

Inferred, not a taxonomy edge: learner can access the supplied prompt with agreed support and can explain or mark a response. If earlier skills are unfamiliar, use the prerequisite topic for teaching; an authored prerequisite is not proof this learner is ready.

Printer, credit, and teaching notes
Sequence
  • Keep the two adult-only cards off the learner screen. Have a pencil and scrap paper if useful; oral pointing/typing/AAC can replace handwriting unless spelling or composition is the target. No printing, cutting, account or purchase is required.

  • Open Show first, read the explanation together, and pause to check the central idea. Then do Guided Try together.

  • For Try, close earlier models and the adult keys unless the task explicitly supplies a reference. Record any hints, read-aloud help or model reopening; do not call supported work independent.

  • Use only the active learner card. Keep the private key closed until an attempt is recorded. Stop or take a break on request; practical claims stay not observed unless actually done.

No Printer

Use on screen; read aloud or recreate a tactile model only with declared support. No printer or purchased kit.

Privacy

Never display adult keys or dictation spellings with a learner task; no family financial, identity or conflict disclosure.

Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view.

Digital Citizenship Curriculum supports Deepfakes and AI-Generated Content. An adult previews and guides; this is a learning page, not a scored quiz.

Free educational page, no sign-in required for the tested path.

Before you open

Ask the learner one fact they learned and one question they still have.

Opening this link does not save learning or assess mastery.

Check understanding

  • Explain what a deepfake is and give an example of AI-generated content
  • Describe at least two clues that might reveal an image or text was AI-generated
  • Explain why it matters that AI can create realistic fake content
“If your child saw an amazing photo online, would they think to question whether it might have been created by AI rather than captured by a camera?”
