If you could make use of more resources for media literacy trainers and teachers, take a look at this trainer’s manual developed by IREX.

The Learn to Discern: Media Literacy Trainer’s Manual is a curriculum for educators in formal and informal education environments. It provides step-by-step guidance and interactive exercises for helping learners of all ages recognize why and how manipulative content works and gain skills to reject half-truths, clickbait, hate speech, and fakes. These issues are especially important for preventing the spread of COVID-19 and preparing citizens for elections.

Topics include:

The information and media space and its features: Navigating different types of platforms and content, distinguishing between facts and opinions, recognizing professional journalism, and more.

Misinformation and manipulation: Why everyone is vulnerable, and how to recognize and overcome biased information.

Fighting misinformation: Practical skills and tools for recognizing and rejecting manipulation, assessing credibility, and selecting objective content.
