SUMMARY:Panhandle Library Access Network Session 4: Algorithms and Generative AI: Pitfalls and Possibilities for Students
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: \n\n\n\nTracee Stanford \n\n\n\nYoung people spend a lot of time on social media\, but do they know why certain content appears on their feeds? Algorithms are powerful but often invisible forces shaping our online experiences — but whose interests are they designed to promote? This presentation will help you dive into the world of algorithms and generative artificial intelligence so you can teach students and public library patrons to consider the civic and social impact of these technologies. You’ll gain an understanding of how search and social media algorithms work; explore the opportunities and pitfalls of large language model chatbots\, such as ChatGPT; and learn about the evolution of AI image generators\, such as DALL-E. We’ll also take a look at where these technologies are heading\, including the rapid development of AI video\, and discuss their implications for civic discourse\, research and library best practices.

SUMMARY:Panhandle Library Access Network Session 3: Understanding News Media Bias
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: \n\n\n\nAlee Quick \n\n\n\nPeople frequently perceive and allege bias in news coverage\, but what does this really mean? What makes a piece of news biased\, and who decides? What role do our own biases play in our perceptions of bias? This session explores this vital\, controversial and complex topic in ways that empower librarians\, educators\, students and library patrons to meaningfully evaluate the fairness and impartiality of news coverage. In the session\, we will: \n\n\n\n\nReflect on the ideal of avoiding bias as a standard of quality journalism.\n\n\n\nAnalyze actual examples of news and other information and reflect on the nuanced\, highly subjective nature of perceived bias in news.\n\n\n\nLearn an approach for evaluating potential bias in news by recognizing different types of potential bias and the forms they can take in coverage. \n\n\n\nExplore the limitations of popular media bias charts and rating systems.

SUMMARY:Panhandle Library Access Network Session 2: Characteristics of Credibility
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: \n\n\n\nTracee Stanford \n\n\n\nAddressing news coverage and current events – including claims library staff and patrons encounter online – can quickly become entangled in perceptions of partisanship. Cut through polarization by focusing on the characteristics of credible information and the standards and guidelines that are used in journalism. \n\n\n\nThis session provides a deep dive into journalism standards and ethics. These include aspects of verification — such as the practice of gathering and comparing information from multiple credible sources — and ideals such as fairness\, transparency\, independence and accountability. We’ll address how journalists work to avoid bias\, as well as the importance of context and balance. Finally\, we’ll demonstrate how you can apply an understanding of these standards to judge the credibility of news and other information.

SUMMARY:Influencers\, AI\, and Credibility: Teach Students About the Information Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:Join the News Literacy Project’s Hannah Covington for this National News Literacy Week edWebinar to explore teaching strategies and resources to help students distinguish between different kinds of content on social media. \n\n\n\nToday’s information landscape is complex\, interconnected and constantly evolving — like an ecosystem. From social media influencers to podcasters and pundits\, much of this ecosystem is focused on discussing current issues and events. But not all content about news is equally credible — or\, in the age of AI\, authentic.  \n\n\n\nJoin the News Literacy Project’s Hannah Covington for this National News Literacy Week edWebinar to explore teaching strategies and resources to help students distinguish between different kinds of content on social media. The session will demonstrate how to use the rich analogy of an ecosystem to help students understand today’s information landscape. Attendees will consider what makes an information ecosystem healthy and examine ways to encourage students to be mindful about the content they consume\, share\, create and act on.   \n\n\n\nViewers will:\n\n\n\n\nExplore how standards-based journalism anchors and sustains much of our broader information ecosystem.\n\n\n\nIdentify characteristics that make information credible.\n\n\n\nApply journalism standards to evaluate other digital sources\, including content from influencers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis session features examples pulled from social media and provides actionable insights to help students recognize signs of credibility in any information source. This edWebinar is ideal for K-12 teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders. \n\n\n\n\nRegister now

SUMMARY:Building Resilient Students: Addressing Health and Science Misinformation Through District and Community Partnerships
DESCRIPTION:This free edLeader panel for administrators and district leaders will explore how strategic partnerships between districts\, schools and communities can ensure that students develop the skills to resist health and science misinformation.  \n\n\n\nIn an age of AI and algorithms\, students encounter misleading science and health content at an alarming rate. Social media influencers and AI-generated posts can heighten anxiety\, fuel body image issues\, spark a desire to participate in dangerous trends and worse.

SUMMARY:Hard hits\, hidden truths: How investigative journalism tackled the NFL’s concussion problem
DESCRIPTION:Thurday\, Feb. 6\, 20251 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT\nToday\, most of us know that a professional football player can sustain potentially devastating brain injuries after years of repeated high-impact collisions with other players. That awareness is due in large part to the reporting of investigative journalist Jeanne Marie Laskas\, whose 2009 GQ magazine article Game Brain profiled scientists who had made a stunning discovery: Concussions in pro football players could lead to dementia. It was a story the NFL didn’t want made public. But Laskas took on one of the most powerful corporations in the country to tell the story of those affected. \nDuring this one-hour webinar\, hosted by the News Literacy Project as part of National News Literacy Week\, we will: \n\nLearn how Laskas conducted her reporting\, despite resistance from the NFL.\nLearn about the watchdog role investigative journalists play in a democracy by documenting abuses by individuals\, corporations and government entities.\nExplore free classroom resources for teaching about the watchdog role of a free press\, including the “Democracy’s Watchdog” lesson on NLP’s Checkology® virtual classroom.\n\nRegister\n🎁 All attendees will be automatically entered into a drawing to win a care package of NLP goodies. \nEducators are welcome to join with or without their students. There will be time for questions at the end of the webinar. This event is presented as a virtual Newsroom to Classroom visit. \nThis event will be hosted by NLP’s Senior Manager of District Partnerships Brittney Smith\, and will feature Laskas\, the author of the New York Times bestseller Concussion\, the basis for the 2015 Golden Globe-nominated film of the same name. Laskas is the author of eight books and a contributing writer at The New York Times Magazine\, a correspondent at GQ and a two-time National Magazine Award finalist in feature writing. She serves as a Distinguished Professor of English and founding director of the  Center for Creativity  at the University of Pittsburgh.
