Prepare Students to Think Critically about the Digital World
From misinformation going viral on social media feeds to the rise of doctored images made from generative AI, it’s more important than ever for students to learn to recognize fact from fiction. There’s no question media literacy is an essential skill set for all students in the digital age. Building media literacy skills from a young age gives students a strong foundation to think critically about information sources. By teaching students to be mindful of what they read on the internet, recognize fake news, and practice good digital citizenship, we can help establish a healthy, productive relationship with media that will serve them throughout their education, careers, and entire lives.
Designed to support the media literacy learning process over time, Gale resources develop the skills students need to access, evaluate, and analyze digital messages from a variety of diverse sources. Educators and students will find primary and secondary sources, opinion articles, photos, infographics, videos, and more digital content relevant to students.
