In this dynamic presentation, author Joyce Grant equips educators with practical strategies to help students recognize and resist misinformation. Drawing on real-world examples, Grant shares a five-step process for teaching what misinformation is, why it matters, and how to avoid it. Educators will explore engaging ways to spark classroom discussions on key topics such as confirmation bias, algorithms, and the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon while gaining tools to support students in developing critical thinking and media literacy skills that extend beyond the classroom.
