Media Literacy and Mental Health

Educators are invited to join the Pulitzer Center for a virtual conversation exploring the relationship between media literacy and mental health. Pulitzer Center staff and an educator panel will examine the questions:

1. How can media literacy skills support student mental health?
2. How can educators prioritize mental health (for our students, and ourselves) when teaching about media literacy?

Speakers will introduce resources designed to strengthen students’ media literacy skills while prioritizing their wellbeing and social-emotional learning, and describe how they have used them in their own classrooms.

Escape The Echoes – A Media Literacy Escape Game

Escape The Echoes is a one-hour educational escape game that helps students develop media literacy skills through an engaging, team-based gaming experience.

The game requires teams to navigate through a series of digital media puzzles and activities that involve the utilization of one or more media literacy skills. Specifically, the game focuses on the formation of media filter bubbles and their impact on human behavior and society. The game is designed to be played in an in-person, virtual, or hybrid setting at schools or other educational institutions.
