Abstract | We are surrounded by controversy--politics, religion, diets, and even science are all up for debate in our 24/7 world of social media and the internet. With this controversy comes a lot of misinformation and competition with what our students might otherwise be learning in our classrooms. I know this intimately, since I teach fitness and nutrition courses, two topics widely addressed by internet "experts" who continually contradict what I teach in my class. Whereas some may say this makes an instructor's job more difficult, I have decided to rise to the challenge and use controversy to enhance my students' learning. By using an assortment of technologies and platforms--web searches, Twitter, TikTok, and more--I have been able to move beyond the classroom to engage my students in real-world problems, a strategy that results in more authentic assessments.
