AI-powered tools have the potential to have a positive impact on students’ learning. At the same time, their ability to make mistakes, produce false and misleading information, and produce artificial content that is indistinguishable from reality has made the problem of finding reliable and trustworthy information online even more difficult.

In this session, our focus will be on learning empirically-based digital media literacy strategies that can be used to effectively evaluate information online, with a focus on content created by AI. Participants will use AI tools to experience how they can produce false, misleading, and biased content, and practice using lateral reading skills to determine whether text, photos, and videos were created by people or by AI.

The resources presented are part of CTRL-F: Digital Media Literacy classroom resources from CIVIX. All resources are free for educators, and available in both English and French.
