Searching for reliable information can feel like navigating through a jungle of claims, clickbait, and a growing amount of AI-generated content. What’s true? What’s real? What’s mis- or disinformation? This edWebinar helps educators discover how to tap the power of online information more effectively, safely, and confidently.
Fortunately, the strategies professional fact-checkers, journalists, and media producers use to find reliable sources still work, whether that information is produced by humans or a machine.
In this interactive session for upper elementary through high school educators, you learn how to support students in developing healthy skepticism without turning into cynics as they gain vital online reasoning skills to use in your classroom and their everyday lives. Then, together we practice evaluating sources using a variety of methods, including Share or Beware!, KQED’s ever-evolving, easily modifiable source evaluation game. You leave with ideas, teaching tips, and free, ready-to-use resources to help students find reliable sources no matter where they click.
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to upper elementary through high school teachers, librarians, school leaders, district leaders, and curriculum directors.
