IndiaFind the Fake News: Think First - Class2Class.org We had a meaningful session on Fake News Awareness with Tr Ayesha Rafeek and her wonderful students. 🌍 The presentations were thoughtful and engaging. Students explored how fake news spreads, how AI can create realistic but false videos, and why it is important to verify information before sharing anything online. More than the topic, what made the session special was the confidence with which the students presented their ideas. Projects like these improve their communication skills, which is truly the need of this century. A heartfelt thank you to Tr Ayesha Rafeek for guiding and encouraging the students. Thanks to Class2Class for giving us this wonderful opportunity to connect, learn, and grow together. 🌏✨
