Today we launched AI Unlocked, a five-part video series with accompanying lesson plans that breaks down the world of artificial intelligence in ways that teens can comprehend. Artificial intelligence is everywhere, from chatbots and search engines to video games and face-swap apps. While young people are leading users of the tools, many don’t know the limitations or how to use them ethically and responsibly. That's why we partnered with PBS News Student Reporting Labs (SRL), with support from The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, to create free lesson plans — anchored by our world renowned Teen Fact-Checking Network — that cover everything from spotting AI disinformation, to using generative search to find facts.

About us
MediaWise is a social-first digital media literacy initiative of the nonprofit Poynter Institute. The program teaches people of all ages and backgrounds how to responsibly engage with online content in the age of information overload. The fact-checking enterprise was created in 2018 to empower citizens to find trusted sources and make sense of the vast amount of information at their fingertips. We bring simple, yet effective, digital media literacy tools to people where they are — whether they’re on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter or TikTok or in one of the countries where MediaWise operates — and walk them through every step to determine what’s real and what’s not on the internet. Through MediaWise, everyone can do their part to reduce the spread of misinformation and elevate the truth. Follow MediaWise on social media to learn how to debunk viral claims and be more critical consumers of online information. Explore programs and be part of the solution at poynter.org/mediawise. We believe that when facts prevail, democracy wins.

We are incredibly excited to partner with Comprova for the adaptation of our 10-day micro-learning course! Meeting the audience where they are - on digital devices through short educational intervals - can play a critical role in empowering individuals with media literacy skills when they are short on time. Our materials are designed to be easily adapted and localized for any community or country - globally. Whether you are interested in being a content partner or funding media literacy initiatives, please reach out!
🤳 O Comprova acaba de lançar um canal no WhatsApp para publicação de checagens e outros conteúdos. A ideia é reduzir a distância entre o projeto e o público e aumentar a velocidade de distribuição das verificações. E ampliar ainda mais o alcance das checagens, que hoje são republicadas pelos 42 veículos da coalizão. 🕵️ Os assinantes do canal já têm acesso ao minicurso Aprenda a identificar boatos nas redes. Durante 10 dias, os assinantes recebem gratuitamente lições diárias com dicas para detectar conteúdos enganosos que circulam pelas redes sociais ou por aplicativos de mensagem e assim aumentar a sua capacidade crítica e a resistência para a desinformação. 🔎 O curso foi desenvolvido pela MediaWise, iniciativa de letramento midiático do Poynter Institute, com apoio do WhatsApp, e adaptado para o público brasileiro pelo Comprova.

In partnership with American University in Bulgaria, members of our Campus Correspondent program are busy empowering their peers with media literacy skills and building resiliency. Keep up the great work!
Щастлива съм да споделя, че днес проведох първото си обучение на тема - “Как да бъдем медийно грамотни онлайн?”, в СофтУни БУДИТЕЛ, с което официално поставих началото на дейността ми като обучител!🙌 Обученията са част от съвместния проект на MediaWise и American University in Bulgaria, който има за цел да образова младото “Gen Z” поколение на България относно различните начини за справяне с дезинформацията, фалшивите новини и постоянния медиен шум около нас.🔉 А вие знаехте ли, че България е на последно място по медийна грамотност в ЕС за 2023?🧐

As a professor, that led her on a journey to empower students with media literacy and fact-checking skills from India to Oman. Read the full article below. This is the fifth of five impact articles that are being published to celebrate media literacy week.
