  • 1.  FREE! LILi Show & Tell: Wednesday, Nov. 26, 11:00am (Pacific)

    Hi all, 
    Please join us on November 26 for another great LILi Show & Tell!
    When: Wednesday, November 26 at 11:00 am Pacific | 1:00 pm Central | 2:00 pm Eastern 
    In this interactive session, Amanda (Mandi) Goodsett from Cleveland State University, will share how she has been experimenting with misinformation inoculation as a powerful approach to teaching information literacy. Adapting the University of Cambridge's Bad News game, she developed Chaos Creator, an activity that lets students step into the role of misinformation producers to learn how manipulation works from the inside out. Amanda also created Future Forecast, where students predict how emerging technologies might be used to shape public opinion. These activities help students identify misinformation "red flags" before applying fact-checking strategies like lateral reading. Participants will leave with practical, ready-to-use ideas for bringing these strategies into their own classrooms.
    A recording will also be available on the LILi Show & Tell webpage after the session.
    We look forward to seeing you all! 
    Sincerely, 
    Natalie Marquez
