Building Studentsโ€™ Media Literacy for Civic Engagement
Join us this Winter for a virtual workshop series co-hosted by The History Project at UC Irvine and The History & Civics Project at UC Santa Cruz.

Reserve your spot now for this free workshop where you will learn teaching strategies and design or adapt a lesson that develops students' media literacy skills and dispositions for civic engagement.

Why media literacy? In a world flooded with competing, conflicting, and contradictory information, students need tools and strategies to identify the purpose, audience, and motives of different information sources, including speeches, posters, advertisements, and social network posts. These tools allow them to be critical and independent thinkers capable of entering into civic dialogue to solve society's pressing problems in an increasingly complicated digital world.

Three ย virtual sessions focused on media consumption, curation, and production will occur on February 9 (4-5:30pm PST), February 16 (4-6pm PST), and February 23 (4-5:30pm PST). Each session will consist of speakers, group and breakout work, Q & A, and discussion about how media literacy instruction will look in your classroom.

Workshop presenters include teacher-leaders who have successfully integrated media literacy lessons into their curricula and a talk from Allison Perlman, Assistant Professor of History and Film and Media Studies at UC Irvine.
