Teach With TikTok: Help students stick to the facts on social media!

Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024
5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT

Hear us out—TikTok has a place in your classroom! Social media continues to shape the way information is shared and consumed, especially by young adults.

Given the deluge of online content, students are bound to encounter mis- and disinformation created and amplified by bad actors. And the sheer volume of daily social media posts makes these sites  difficult to monitor and regulate. Nonetheless, TikTok is a regular news source for more than half of its users, according to the Pew Research Center.

In this free webinar, the News Literacy Project’s Alexa Volland and Brittney Smith will share insights and practical strategies to help students identify and debunk falsehoods, misinformation and conspiracy theories on social media.

Using the lens of news literacy, attendees will:

• Investigate examples of misinformation on platforms like TikTok, Instagram and X.
• Learn tips to fact-check viral posts before sharing.
• Explore strategies to help students identify credible sources on social media.

This edWebinar will be of interest to middle and high school teachers, librarians, school leaders, district leaders and education technology leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
