Many young people today rely on social media for news and information. And as generative artificial intelligence becomes more common, it also plays a role in today’s information environment. The problem is that AI and social media can be misleading like haunted houses.
By providing students with tools to develop critical thinking skills, educators can arm students against this horrifying situation (not just Halloween season). Join us for a free Ed Webinar focused on helping students see through falsehoods and falsehoods and AI that pretends to be reality.
Listen to Alexa Volland, AI and social media expert at News Literacy Project, and learn techniques to provide students with the skills to navigate even the digital environments that are most bewildering. We also explore free resources such as check lessons and classroom exercises to determine the reliability of evidence and sources, as well as best practices to teach about misinformation and conspiratorial thinking.
This Edwebinar will be of interest to middle and high school teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders. There is time for questions at the end of the presentation.
