Fact-Check the Chatbot: Spotting Misinformation and Hallucinations in GenAI
Recorded on February 11, 2025. Follow along with the slides.
Online workshop; for grades K-12 educators (Free)
We all know students are using GenAI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini. But how can educators support students to fact-check the chatbot? Join us for a 1-hour workshop designed to help students gain vital online research and reasoning skills in the age of AI. You'll learn how professional fact checkers avoid falling for misinformation, whether it’s human- or AI-generated, and practice identifying and evaluating credible sources. Then we’ll put what you’ve learned to the test with the latest version of our favorite source-checking game: Share or Beware! You’ll leave with ideas, teaching tips and ready-to-use resources to help students find reliable sources no matter where they click.
GenAI Guidelines for Student-Centered Media Creation
Recorded on January 21, 2025. Follow along with the slides.
Online workshop; for grade 6-12 educators (Free)
Make sense of the Generative AI (GenAI) landscape by approaching it with a youth voice lens. In this workshop for middle and high school educators, we’ll unpack KQED’s new GenAI guidelines for productive, ethical and student-focused media creation. We’ll then explore one possible use-case: how AI chatbots like ChatGPT can be customized to provide supportive feedback on audio and video scripts–and other types of writing–in a way that supports student voice and encourages self-expression. You’ll get hands-on time to practice and experiment with your students in mind, and leave with useful guidelines, instructional strategies, and ready-to-use resources to guide your use of GenAI when students make media.
