SUMMARY:Influence\, Authenticity\, and a Gendered Algorithm
DESCRIPTION:Social media promises visibility and connection\, yet these systems amplify some voices while silencing others. In this Media Literacy Week lecture\, Dr. Elizabeth R. Ortiz ’01 explores how digital platforms reward certain performances of femininity and “authenticity” while constraining how women and other marginalized creators show up\, speak out\, and share their lives online. She invites us to see media literacy as a way to resist\, redefine\, and reclaim visibility in these systems built to keep us scrolling.

SUMMARY:Preparing Middle Schoolers for the Ups and Downs of Smartphones and Social Media with Jennifer Berger of Ready Set Screen
DESCRIPTION:This eye-opening presentation challenges the usual assumptions about how teens and kids can be safe\, smart\, and healthy in the digital age — and what media literacy is — and illuminates what kids actually need to thrive online. Drawing from 16+ years of classroom experience with more than 10\,000 teens and two years of surveying and interviewing parents and their kids\, Jennifer Berger offers a unique perspective as a community educator who witnessed media literacy education transform students. This isn’t another doom-and-gloom talk about social media dangers. Instead\, you’ll learn how libraries\, schools\, and families can fill the critical gap in media literacy education\, moving from awareness to meaningful action. Here’s the link to join!

SUMMARY:Workshop: A Framework for Recognizing Misinformation\, Disinformation\, and Information in Life and at School
DESCRIPTION:At school and in life we are bombarded with information. When information comes to us\, we get to choose which information to engage with\, but often these choices are snap decisions heavily resting in emotion and our existing knowledge rather than any intentional evaluation process. At other times\, we seek information out and\, while we expect our information seeking strategies will lead us to reliable sources\, we are still somewhat limited by our accumulation of experiences and knowledge. In all situations\, we are subjected to reliable information\, misinformation\, and disinformation and sometimes it’s not easy to distinguish. This workshop provides a framework that balances emotion and existing knowledge-based decision making with intentionality. In other words\, this workshop will give you tools to navigate the noise.

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.

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.
