Free Media Literacy Workshop for Teachers
Thanks to a generous grant from Wells Fargo, NewseumED is pleased to offer "Real Media Literacy for a Fake News World” to D.C.-metro area teachers.
(Note: As of Jan. 7, the workshop is full. If you'd like to be placed on a waitlist, please send your name, school, phone number and email address to [email protected].)
The free professional development workshop will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. ET at the Newseum on:
- Saturday, Feb. 9, 2019
The six-hour workshop includes breakfast, lunch, classroom materials, a curatorial session and extensive professional development. NewseumED welcomes teachers seeking new ways to elevate their students’ media literacy and empower their free expression. Using the phenomenon of fake news, attendees will explore the complexities of how information is created, spread and consumed, and be given tools to help students spot problem stories. Throughout the workshop, primary sources and case studies will be used to bring these issues to life while participants will explore strategies on how to help students use technology to discern misinformation.
Registration is required, and space is limited.
