Start Strong With News Literacy: Checkology
August 18 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm EDT
Set your students up for success this school year by helping them build the news literacy skills they need to navigate today’s information landscape with confidence—and make informed decisions for years to come.
In this 30-minute webinar, Erin Olson, Director of State Engagement at the News Literacy Project, will introduce the essential concepts of news literacy and show educators how to get started with the Checkology® virtual classroom.
You’ll explore free, ready-to-use interactive lessons, activities and classroom tools that help students:
- Recognize and debunk misinformation.
- Understand algorithms and AI.
- Identify credible sources and make informed decisions about the information they encounter.
You’ll leave with practical strategies for integrating news literacy into your curriculum, a plan for getting started with Checkology, and resources that help students build critical-thinking and decision-making skills. Whether you’re new to news literacy or looking to refresh your classroom for the new school year, this webinar will help you start strong.
