Does News Find Me?
Date & Time: January 26, 2023 from 04:00 PM - 05:30 PM
How do we, as educators, help our students decipher when, where, how, and what news finds us? Through this dive into social media algorithms, educators will learn ways in which news is populated so that we can engage students in ways to actively seek out relevant issues and explore a variety of sources rather than relying on information finding us. The session will include curricular focused breakout discussions to explore how these strategies can be integrated into the classroom to support students’ research skills, critical thinking, and computational thinking across all subject matter areas.
