COVID-19 NEWS: Thomson Reuters and NAMLE Teach How to Spot Misinformation
Thomson Reuters and the National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE) joined forces to give teachers “classroom resources that will inspire relevant and rich discussion about media literacy. As part of these efforts, we are offering a podcast titled Slowing the Infodemic: How to Spot COVID-19 Misinformation [listen here or read the transcript here], as well as a companion short video [watch here or read the transcript here], infographic [view here], and classroom guide [view here] to teach media literacy skills through inquiry based learning. Using these resources, students will gain knowledge about the origin of common information we accept as fact, their role in accepting knowledge without inquiry, the process used by professional journalists to verify information, and the skills necessary to think critically about the media messages around them.”For more information, read the article.
