NewseumED...a great tool to teach students to be critical consumers of news

During winter 2018 and fall 2018, I signed up for a free virtual webinar for my undergraduate students. The virtual webinar was hosted by NewseumED and the topic was Fighting Fake News: How to Outsmart Trolls & Troublemakers for grades 6-12 and higher ed. Since we are in Michigan and NewseumEd is in DC,  it was done virtually. My students gained so much from the webinar. During our follow-up discussion, many talked about how much they learned about identifying fake news and indicated that this is something they want to implement in their future classes.

You can book a virtual visit with NewseumEd for your students. They have numerous topics. Just go to their site.

PSST...I learned about the NewseumEd site at a session that I attended the MACUL 2018 Conference. The 2019 MACUL Conference is in Detroit MI March 20-22, 2019.
