Episode Notes

In this episode:

News stories, videos, data, AI-altered content, and even memes – today’s students will need to know how to analyze and contextualize them all to thrive in the classroom and beyond. But they don’t arrive in our classrooms knowing fact from fiction – not without digital literacy’s help.

This month, we’re talking with Darren Hudgins, co-author of Developing Digital Detectives: Essential Lessons for Discerning Fact from Fiction in the ‘Fake News’ Era, about digital literacy’s growing importance in every content area. We’ll also dig into why educators need to focus on teaching digital literacy directly instead of passively – especially as AI-altered content becomes more prevalent in public life.
