 The analysis and evaluation:

According to the results of post-test for teachers, there is significant difference between the results of pre-test and post-test in favour of the teachers in the project. 100 % of the teachers (n=10) think that this project contributed to their students' being responsible digital citizens while contributing to their professional development. Also, all of them stated that they know how to teach their students to tackle disinformation and fake news thanks to the project.  Besides, all of them think that their students are well aware of digital security and data protection and the project raised the parents' awareness of digital media literacy and disinformation. As they mentioned in the pre-test, every single of the teachers contributed very much to the project handling the tasks throughout the projects. 100% of the teachers stated that the project meet their expectations even beyond their expectations. A quote from one of the partner goes like this:  “The project is beyond my expectation. My students and I as a teacher learned a lot throughout the project. The parents are also very thankful for project outcomes. My students know how to be responsible and smart when they go online. They think criticially about using a source in terms of credibility, copyrights and search for the Internet terms using search engines while citing the source when they find meaning of a word using websites, dictionaries or so forth. Secondly, They recognize that photos and videos can be altered/montaged digitally. They distinguish the difference between what's real and what's fake.They Identify different reasons why someone might alter or montage a photo or video. They analyze altered photos and videos to try to determine why. they post news or anything after double check it using reliable fact-checking websites. They define what digital footprints showing responsible online behaviors. They create a positive digital footprint: protect their digital footprint: become aware that sometimes people have control over their footprint and sometimes not. They learn what "media balance" means, and how it applies to them reflecting on how balanced they are in their daily lives. Finally, they learn what "cyberbullying" means by reflecting on the characteristics of an upstanding digital citizen. They are nice and courageous on the internet standing up to cyberbullying. All these beatiful outcomes were achived based on their active roles in the tasks producing media content rather than consume it. The project also proves to have the best team players ever.”

In the light of the findings, it can be claimed that the project both benefit the students, teachers and parents considerably.
