In this lesson, learners will be introduced to the concept of the bubble. They will be asked to draw on their knowledge from the lesson on big data to describe how bubbles might form.

To do this, they can be prompted with previous topics like fake news and illegal content. Finally, learners will reflect on if they themselves are in a bubble, how they could get out of it, and whether they want to.
