We are excited to partner with The History Project at UC Irvine to produce this free workshop!
Register now and reserve your spot to explore teaching strategies and also design or adapt a lesson that develops students’ media literacy skills and dispositions for civic engagement.
Why media literacy? Students need strategies and practices to navigate a media landscape flooded with competing, conflicting, and contradictory information. Teaching and practicing those strategies will help build critical and independent thinkers and agents in an increasingly complicated digital world.
There are three sessions: September 17th (4-5:30pm PST), October 1st (4-6pm PST), and October 15th (4-5:30pm PST). Each session will consist of speakers, group and breakout work, Q & A, and discussion about how media literacy instruction will look in your classroom.
Workshop presenters include teacher-leaders who have successfully integrated media literacy lessons into their curricula and a talk from Allison Perlman, Assistant Professor of History and Film and Media Studies at UC Irvine.
