Dear Educators, Librarians, and Media Enthusiasts,
Teaching students to think critically about the information they encounter, from news headlines to social media posts, is one of the most vital skills we can offer them. The Georgiou Library at NYU is excited to support that work!
We're thrilled to announce that our on-demand webinar, From Cave Paintings to Click Bait: Teaching Information and News Literacy, is now freely available to watch at your convenience. Produced and hosted by The Georgiou Library, the webinar features two expert guest speakers, Chris Haughton, author/illustrator and Pamela Brunskill, Senior Director of Education Design, News Literacy Project, who explore practical strategies for evaluating sources, spotting misinformation, and building information literacy skills in learners of all ages.
