Following National News Literacy Week 2026, join the News Literacy Project for a close look at the Checkology®️ virtual classroom, NLP’s one-stop shop for teaching news literacy.
If you’ve not already registered for a free Checkology account, you’ll learn why this digital learning platform is a must if you want to supercharge your efforts in teaching topics such as AI, standards-based journalism, evaluating credibility, the First Amendment, misinformation and more.
Led by Erin Olson, the News Literacy Project’s Director of State Engagement, this session will walk you through the quick steps to start using Checkology and introduce the wide range of resources available on the platform. You’ll discover free posters, infographics, lesson plans and instructional supports, which can be used to fill five minutes of lesson time or entire class periods.
We’ll give you a demonstration of one of Checkology’s flagship interactive lessons and take your questions. We will also include a brief introduction to The Sift®️, our weekly newsletter for educators designed to complement Checkology resources.
This session is offered more than once; choose the time and date that work best for your schedule.
