Presented by Adam Lewandowski
Museum Education, NewseumED
In this edWebinar, teachers will learn a practical approach to helping students avoid one of the major pitfalls of today’s digital media: falling for fake information. Adam Lewandowski, Museum Education at NewseumED, will examine real-life case studies that bring to life the challenges of today’s media landscape and model an easy-to-remember and easy-to-implement strategy for staying a step ahead.
Throughout the session, discussion and activities will explore best practices for meeting students’ needs for enhanced media savvy in the academic realm and their daily lives. This session will be of particular benefit to social science, language arts, journalism and media educators, as well as librarians in the middle school through higher education levels. There will be time to get your questions answered at the end of Adam’s presentation. Read more.
