Artificial intelligence, the election, social media–oh my! Support students to develop healthy skepticism without turning into cynics as they gain vital online research and reasoning skills. In this interactive edWebinar for upper elementary through high school educators, you learn how professional fact checkers avoid falling for misinformation whether it’s generated by humans or AI.
You practice identifying and evaluating credible sources using a variety of methods, and then put what you’ve learned to the test with our favorite game: Share or Beware! You leave with ideas, teaching tips, and ready-to-use resources to help students confidently check facts and fight misinformation this election season and beyond.
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to upper elementary through high school teachers, librarians, instructional coaches, school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders.
