Navigating Election Misinformation: Lies, Myths, and Scares— Oh My!
Wednesday, October 9, 2024
5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT
It’s October and we’re heading into a very spooky time—not just Halloween, but also election season! Over these remaining weeks before Election Day, helping students develop news literacy skills is critical for the next generation to become engaged critical thinkers prepared to make educated decisions at the polls.
This free webinar is designed to empower educators with free, nonpartisan tools and resources to take the “scare factor” out of teaching about election-season topics. Join NLP’s Brittney Smith and Dan Evon as they share insights and practical strategies to help future voters understand how to think about the news, not what to think.
Using the lens of news literacy, attendees will:
- Explore strategies to help students identify credible sources, understand the role of a free press in democracy, and identify and even debunk misinformation.
- Learn about NLP’s new election-focused misinformation dashboard and its potential uses in the classroom.
