SUMMARY:Learning to See Through Media: Finland's Media Literacy Lessons for America
DESCRIPTION:Finland ranks first in Europe’s Media Literacy Index\, and Finns’ trust in news remains among the highest in the world. In the US\, trust in news has fallen to 25%. What can American classrooms learn from Finland? \nStephen Lee\, Co-Founder and CEO of Augmented Media Literacy\, has lived in Finland for about 25 years. In 2018\, he started a project with Finnish journalists and a PhD researcher to help people read media better. In this talk\, he shares what Finnish students learn about the news\, and four ways to see through media in anything you read: spotting clickbait headlines\, noticing emotional language\, checking sources and viewpoints\, and comparing coverage across outlets. \nEducators who attend will be the first to see and have the chance to try the Augmented Media Literacy Chrome extension beta for free. \nThe extension is based on the last 8 years of development in cooperation with teams in the US and Finland. We are excited to show you what our research has led us to and get your feedback. \nVisit https://augmentedmedialiteracy.com for more information and to join the waitlist for the tool. \nRegister (free): https://forms.gle/Ytk89UL7eARA1ZhM7 \nWatch live: https://www.youtube.com/live/WGVoOJPs_pU \nContact: contact@augmentedmedialiteracy.com

SUMMARY:Decoding Your Feed: The Difference Between News and Content

Anyone can post\, but journalism makes sure that what you see is accurate\, credible\, and fair. In this Media Literacy Week program\, 7th and 8th graders learn to distinguish journalism from content that feels like “news” by hearing from Reuters staff about how they research\, analyze\, and distribute information.

SUMMARY:Navigating the Manosphere: Harmful Online Masculinity Content and Youth
DESCRIPTION:What are boys and young men finding online when they search for advice about masculinity\, relationships\, and fitness — or even just scroll through their “for you” feed? Algorithms and persuasive influencers can quickly guide young men into the “manosphere” — a network of online communities where healthy self-improvement tips often mix with rigid\, exaggerated\, misogynistic\, and harmful views on gender and relationships. \nWhile the content of the manosphere varies and may sometimes appear harmless at first glance\, prolonged exposure can shape young people’s real-world behavior\, attitudes toward women\, mental health\, relationships\, and even physical health. \nJoin Children and Screens for our next #AskTheExperts webinar “Navigating the Manosphere: Harmful Online Masculinity Content and Youth” on Wednesday\, October 28 at 5:30pm ET on Zoom. Expert panelists will discuss the pathways that lead youth to the manosphere\, the impact of engagement in these spaces on their beliefs\, behavior\, and well-being\, and how parents and educators can help young people critically evaluate the messages they encounter while supporting healthier expressions of masculinity.

SUMMARY:Teaching Students to Think Critically When Chatbots Agree with Them: Metacognition and Media Literacy in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:School librarian\, Brooke Baker\, and Project Look Sharp co-director\, Chris Sperry\, explore adolescent metacognition and media literacy in the age of AI. REGISTRATION REQUIRED. \n\n\nPrimary Audience: this webinar is designed for middle school and high school educators and librarians; library media specialists; teacher librarians; school administrators; college faculty; and librarians. \nIt’s easy to question an answer we disagree with\, but what happens when a chatbot tells us exactly what we want to hear? This interactive webinar explores how the affirming and validating nature of conversational AI can make critical evaluation more difficult for students. We’ll connect emerging research on adolescent AI use with Project Look Sharp’s approach to metacognition and Constructivist Media Decoding\, then put those strategies into practice with a hands-on media literacy activity. Participants will leave with Project Look Sharp resources and practical ways to help students pause\, question\, and think critically about AI responses–even when those responses feel right.

SUMMARY:Responsible Tech Summit 2026; From Principles to Power: Embedding Accountability in the AI Era
DESCRIPTION:​At a time when artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping society\, the conversation is shifting from broad principles to real-world accountability. The 2026 summit will explore the theme of Principles to Power: Embedding Accountability in the AI Era. For years\, the Responsible Tech field has been guided by ethical frameworks\, voluntary commitments\, and emerging standards. Today\, the challenge is clear: how do we translate those ideas into systems of governance\, oversight\, and design that ensure innovation does not come at the expense of safety\, rights\, or trust? \n​The Responsible Tech Summit is designed as a curated convening for 375 leaders that helps align and shape the direction of the movement. Participants will include global governance leaders\, AI researchers\, industry practitioners\, policy experts\, civil society advocates\, and philanthropic leaders who are building the infrastructure of accountability for the digital age. Through keynotes\, panels\, and conversations\, attendees will explore topics such as accountability by design\, platform oversight\, youth online safety\, the Responsible Tech economy\, and the evolving global regulatory landscape. \n​All ticket proceeds fund free resources and services for the Responsible Tech community that our organization provides. Can’t make it in person? The event will be livestreamed for free on All Tech Is Human’s YouTube page\, where recordings will also be available afterward.

SUMMARY:Their Ad\, Your Vote: A Media Literacy Look at Political Advertising
DESCRIPTION:Political ads are everywhere this election season — on TV\, in our feeds\, and in our mailboxes. This session with Dr. Elizabeth Ortiz of Media Literacy Week Lehigh Valley takes a closer look at real political ads and practices asking the questions media literacy is built on: Who made this\, and who paid for it? What techniques is it using to get my attention and my vote? What’s left out? Students and families will leave with simple tools for evaluating political messages together at home. Follows the Political Pulse Live! broadcast at Northampton Community College’s Fowler Family Southside Center\, 511 East 3rd Street\, Bethlehem\, PA 18015.
