Our online workshops are interactive and designed to be attended live. The recordings may not reflect the same level of interactivity and engagement. We encourage you to attend our workshops in community with other educators in real time.
Media messages are designed to grab our attention and keep it. With the midterm elections fast approaching and AI-generated media on the rise, help students become critical viewers rather than passive consumers by analyzing the purpose, audience, and built-in biases for an array of media messages, from historic political ads to influencers on Instagram.
