This live event from Teaching Tolerance will offer practical tips for educators hoping to teach or better understand media literacy.

Solutions will include our new podcast about digital literacy, The Mind Online. They will also include lessons and resources from our Digital Literacy Framework, which includes K-12 materials that can be used with or without technology, and classroom-friendly videos.
