Information literacy skills aren't just for high school students. Adults can learn (or re-learn) important skills around factchecking and vetting sources and claims.

On Tuesday, April 25, 4-6 p.m. (Pacific), we're presenting, with our statewide partners at the WSU Murrow College of Communication, a special "Mini" MisinfoDay virtual event with a series of short talks and workshops.

This year's annual MisinfoDay educational program for WA high school students, teachers and librarians, co-presented through a UW-WSU statewide partnership, was last month and featured three in-person events at UW Seattle, WSU Pullman and WSU Vancouver. About 700 students participated in person in March!

Here are highlights from a blog post I wrote: https://www.cip.uw.edu/2023/03/28/misinfoday-2023-washington-program-lessons/ [2/3]

Extended my stay in Seattle to make sure I could join the Center for an Informed Public's #MisinfoDay today! Really excited to help over 500 local high schoolers build information literacy & critical thinking skills today. I'm leading a misinformation escape room and then designed my own station based on @johnfocook's Cranky Uncle game and the debunking handbook!
