MindShift KQED: Can Better Conversations Improve Media Literacy Among Students?

In a world flooded with information and disinformation, students need critical skills to navigate what they read, see, and hear online. But with increasing cellphone bans in schools and rising media consumption, there’s more to effective media literacy than just fact-checking. This panel will dive into how personal identities and social relationships can influence the way students process information, and explore practical strategies for educators to teach media literacy that’s grounded in human connection and empathy, rather than algorithmic recommendation.
