Ctrl-F is the keyboard shortcut for "find."  It can help you find keywords in a document or webpage.  Like the shortcut, the CTRL-F project offers simple skills to help you find facts online.
We want to be able to weed out low-quality and unreliable information, and focus on what is trustworthy, so we know we are basing our opinions and actions on the best information available. CTRL-F is designed to help us all build better habits by learning and practicing simple digital literacy techniques that anyone can use.
