SUMMARY:Ask\, Interview\, Write: Journalistic Strategies to Engage Secondary ELA Students in Media Literacy and Civics Education
DESCRIPTION:Language arts teachers are increasingly asked to teach media literacy and civics\, as seen in the 2021 NCTE Report of the Task Force on Critical Media Literacy and in the 2022 NCTE Civics Guide for Teachers. In addition to meeting required instructional standards for reading\, writing\, listening\, speaking and grammar conventions through literary and informative texts\, teachers also want to motivate and engage their students with authentic inquiry. How can they manage it all? \nJournalistic learning is a project-based approach that integrates media literacy and civic engagement to activate student voice and choice in the general language arts classroom. This research-based\, standards-aligned approach is designed to allow students to tap their own interests and concerns in order to research\, write and publish ethical\, informative\, place-based articles about issues they find relevant to their communities and lived experiences. Teachers guide students to practice research strategies for identifying mis- and disinformation while learning about local news media. The approach’s key elements are distilled in Language Arts in Action: Engaging Secondary Students with Journalistic Strategies (W.W. Norton\, 2023)\, authored by three of this panels’ presenters. \n  \n\nWhen you register as a 2023 U.S. Media Literacy Week participant here\, you’ll automatically be registered for this event.

SUMMARY:Debunking the Disguises: Misinformation\, AI\, and Social Media
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Alexa Volland\, Senior Manager of Educator Professional Learning\, The News Literacy Project; and Brittney Smith\, Senior Manager of Education Partnerships\, The News Literacy Project \nSponsored by News Literacy Project \nRegister Here \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nMany young people today rely on social media for news and information\, and as generative artificial intelligence becomes more common\, it too is playing a role in today’s information landscape. The problem is that AI and social media can be as misleading as a haunted house—full of tricks (not treats)\, and often\, misinformation! \nBy giving students the tools and skills to develop critical thinking skills\, educators can help arm their students against this scary situation (and not just during Halloween season). Join us for an edWebinar focused on helping your students see through falsehoods disguised as facts and AI masquerading as reality. \nHear from the News Literacy Project’s AI and social media expert Alexa Volland and learn techniques for giving students the skills to navigate even the most bewildering digital environments. We’ll also explore free resources\, such as Checkology lessons and classroom exercises\, for determining the credibility of evidence and sources as well as best practices for teaching about misinformation and conspiratorial thinking. \nThis edWebinar will be of interest to middle and high school teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.

Doors open at 6 p.m. The film begins at 6:30 and will be followed by a panel discussion on the film and Media Literacy. \nAbout the Film \n“TRUST ME” shows how an avalanche of biased news and misinformation is undermining trust in society. This drives fear\, which promotes racism\, political polarization and mental health disorders. When fear goes up it erodes trust. When people don’t trust each other\, they don’t help each other and progress stalls. Sensational media take advantage of our survival instincts to earn more clicks and ad revenue with shocking headlines that we enable each time we share. “TRUST ME” uses compelling human stories\, facts and expert voices to show empirical realities and the right way to consume media. \nAbout the Hosts \nThe Alaska Teen Media Institute is a local organization that provides teens and young adults with the tools and training needed to produce stories and with the opportunity for their stories – told in their own voices – to be shared through a variety of media. ATMI believes the teen perspective is valuable and is under-represented. ATMI’s News Literacy Program provides young people with information and skills on discerning reliable forms of media in order to make informed decisions for themselves and their community. \nThe Department of Journalism and Public Communications teaches students the skills of multimedia journalism and strategic communications — skills that are required in almost every field — media\, government\, business\, health and science. \nThe Northern Light and KRUA are the University of Alaska Anchorage’s student news and radio organizations.
