Summary

This comprehensive KS2 resource bundle explores artificial intelligence (AI) and methods to assess the credibility of digital content, aligning with England’s National Curriculum for Computing, English, and Citizenship.
It helps pupils understand AI’s role in creating information, recognise misleading or unreliable sources, and develop critical thinking skills essential for today’s digital literacy.
The bundle also addresses common misconceptions about AI, promotes responsible use of technology, and covers key vocabulary like credibility, fact-checking, and misinformation.
Integrated with real-world discussions on TikTok trends, including the impact of social media on young people’s health advice, news consumption, and data privacy, the materials encourage critical analysis of digital media and social platforms.
