About This Webinar
Increasingly, students are bringing “facts” from social media into school, and teachers are left to navigate these misleading and false narratives in the classroom. In our globalized world, it is critical for students to have the digital literacy skills to make sense of online information about international issues.
So how, as educators, can you support your students in differentiating fact from fiction as they confront a flood of digital information about the world?
In this virtual session, the Digital Inquiry Group and CFR Education from the Council on Foreign Relations will unpack how to build global and digital literacy skills to prepare students to evaluate claims about international issues.
In this webinar, participants will learn:
- Strategies to evaluate where information comes from and whether it is reliable
- Tools to empower our students with the knowledge, skills, and perspective required to compete in a global workforce
- Free, non-partisan global affairs resources that provide foundational knowledge about current events
This session is aimed at teachers of all subjects in middle school, high school, and higher education and can be helpful to any educator or guardian navigating online information about global issues.
This webinar is part of Share My Lesson's 2025 Virtual Conference! View all sessions here.
