SUMMARY:Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) with NASED and NAMLE
DESCRIPTION:We’re Meagan Wolfe\, President of the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) and the Chief Election Official of Wisconsin\, and Michelle Ciulla Lipkin\, Executive Director of the National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE).   \nWe’re excited to be here together to answer your questions about what media literacy is\, why it’s important to elections\, how election officials are combating false information about elections\, and any other election administration or media literacy questions you might have.  Media literacy skill building helps across all subjects\, but it’s especially important with elections to help build resilience to all of the false information out there about election administration in the United States.  \nNASED is a nonpartisan\, nonprofit\, professional association for state election officials in all 50 states\, DC\, and the five US territories.  In 40 states\, the Secretary of State or Lieutenant Governor is the Chief Election Official\, and in those states\, the election director works for the Secretary of State or Lieutenant Governor.  In the other 16 states and territories\, including in Meagan’s state of Wisconsin\, the Chief Election Official typically works for a bipartisan board or commission – Meagan is the Administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission.  Whether they are a Chief Election Official or work for a Chief Election Official\, the person filling the election director role implements new policies and technologies\, works with local election officials\, and so much more. \nFounded in 1997\, NAMLE is a nonpartisan\, 501(c)3 professional organization that represents a diverse network of people and organizations committed to advancing media literacy education. As the leading voice\, convener\, and resource for media literacy education\, NAMLE aims to make media literacy highly valued and widely practiced as an essential life skill. Michelle Ciulla Lipkin began her career in children’s television production\, in various roles on both corporate and production teams\, and has been the executive director of NAMLE since 2012. She earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from New York University and is currently an Adjunct Lecturer at Brooklyn College where she teaches Media Literacy.

SUMMARY:Spotting election misinformation and understanding motivations behind how and why it spreads
DESCRIPTION:We need to move beyond the unhelpful term “fake news” to more precisely identify the common types of misleading\, inaccurate and false information that we are likely to encounter in the runup to the elections. We will discuss motivations behind different types of propagators of misinformation and learn fact-checking basics to feel more confident that we will be sharing and acting on accurate\, credible information. By having a deeper understanding of misinformation\, we can become less susceptible to it and more likely to prioritize reliable\, verified sources of news and information. \nThis webinar is the second installment of a three-part series\, brought to you by The News Literacy Project. This session is presented in partnership with the League of Women Voters. To learn more about election misinformation\, please visit our website: https://newslit.org/election2022 \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Big Lies You Were Told Growing Up: An evening with author Mark Kulansky and educators from across the globe
DESCRIPTION:Come meet author Mark Kurlansky\, author of “Big Lies: From Socrates to Plato\,” and educators from across the globe and share your thoughts on big lies from history! “Educator Voice” is not your typical webinar. First\, it’s a live Zoom conversation where teachers (a.k.a. the experts!) are also the guests alongside well\, our guest! It’s recorded and highlights appear online. We ask that you turn on your screens since we are our proud of the work teachers do\, and believe fully in the need of showing it off and sharing how smart\, courageous and amazing educators and school staff are. Our guests come on because they WANT to hear directly from teachers/staff and what they are going through currently trying to help students learn and make the world a better place. All are welcome\, but you get the boot if you are disrespectful. Mark Kulansky\, journalist and best-selling author\, is not to be missed. You will have fun and he will make you laugh and think. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Representations of Teachers in the Media across time and space
DESCRIPTION:Abbott Elementary is out to bust all the typical teacher tropes that have manifested in popular culture across time. As Marshall (2016) writes\, teachers have predominantly been represented in popular culture as saintly\, un-intellectual nurturers\, or the opposite\, as monsters\, all the while presenting a misogynistic view of the teaching profession that’s dominated by women. In this presentation\, media literacy educators/scholars\, Dr. Stephanie Flores-Koulish and Sr. Rose Pacatte will examine various depictions of teacher depictions in the media\, past and present using the critical lenses of media literacy education\, and discuss the implications of such depictions on the profession and especially the impact on this female-dominated profession. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Media Literacy and the Civic Mission of Schools
DESCRIPTION:Our country and constitutional democracy can only thrive when schools prepare the next generation to be literate and independent consumers and producers of news and media. That mission can only be achieved when schools first reflect a broader civic mission. For decades\, that mission has been underresourced in terms of both funding and time on topic. The bipartisan Civics Secures Democracy Act offers an opportunity to invest a billion dollars a year for the next five years in civics and U.S. history\, explicitly calling out functions of media literacy. Come learn about how the media literacy community serves as a linchpin to getting this bill to the finish line and reclaiming the civic mission of schools. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Media Literacy Packs Power in Civics
DESCRIPTION:Media literacy is a central part of civics instruction\, but integrating the two topics is no easy task. Addressing issues of equity and social justice can feel even more complicated\, especially as challenges to teaching civics and media literacy increase. Join us to explore how media literacy underpins civics\, learn about resources to support educators\, and hear about our experience developing a new civics curriculum that harnesses and builds these essential media literacy skills. Panelists\, including teachers and civics experts\, will share their insights and strategies and engage participants in discussion. This session\, designed for teachers\, is jointly presented by NAMLE and Education Development Center\, Inc. \nREGISTER HERE
