Webinar information

Description

Search engines and social media can offer us millions of results in a nanosecond, but they are often personalized, and not always transparent. More than ever, it is vital to improve our digital information literacy skills to think critically, make balanced judgements, and tell sources of information apart.

This webinar presents you the latest research in the field and gives you practical examples of new reading skills curriculum projects. The second part of the webinar provides you with workshop ideas on how teachers can deal with information disorder in the classroom context.
