Escaping Misinformation

Consider the sheer volume of information adults and children are exposed to daily, from news and entertainment outlets to social media, texts, and memes. Everyone could benefit from a set of skills and strategies to employ when engaging with each piece of media. Even our youngest media consumers need a toolkit they can turn to when evaluating if a source is reliable. With media literacy tools, students can critically engage with the information they consume and lift up their voices as active and informed citizens.
