MisinfoDay In Your Classroom

Join the UW’s Center for an Informed Public and WSU’s Edward R. Murrow College of Communication from your classroom as we learn how to navigate complex information environments and make informed decisions about what to believe online.

How will MisinfoDay In Your Classroom work this year?

1. MisinfoDay In Your Classroom Resource Walkthrough, October 7 from 6–7 p.m. PT. In this virtual event co-hosted with Teachers for an Informed Public, MisinfoDay program manager Liz Crouse will review the MisinfoDay Resource Library and walk you through “What’s Your Frame? How We Make Sense of Uncertain Situations,” a new lesson created by CIP co-founder Kate Starbird that helps students understand how people can look at the same set of facts and come to different conclusions – about the existence of aliens, the legitimacy of elections, and everything in between. (Clock hours offered for WA educators!)

2. Access misinformation-themed escape room materials to play online or in person at lokisloop.org.

3. Use one of the lessons or escape room with your students during U.S. Media Literacy Week. We’ll provide access for educators to a MisinfoDay padlet where you can share photos and takeaways from your class and make connections across classrooms.
