According to author John Green, who narrates the series, lateral reading may just be one of the most critical skills of the 21st century. So what is it? With the third installment from the Crash Course: Navigating Digital Information series, scholars discover how to use multiple tabs in a browser to fact check while reading. They learn how Internet-reading is different from book-reading and how to make the best use of their time while gathering information online.
