Join your fellow educators for an engaging online event featuring Sooth—the only internet search platform designed to enhance information literacy and critical thinking for students from middle school through college. Sooth enables learners to search exclusively across thousands of credible news, research, and information sources entirely free of ads, unreliable content, and distractions. Sooth helps learners cultivate and enhance their information literacy skills with features like AllSides Media Bias Ratings and NewsGuard Trust Scores. We will also explore our one-of-a-kind misinformation toolkit where students can engage and critique real instances of misinformation, an increasingly urgent skill in our complicated content landscape.

Participants will also receive a special Promo Code to begin using Sooth in their classrooms immediately.
