MisInfo Day at the University of Washington
MisInfo Day at the University of Washington
Earlier this month, our Exploring Global Cultures and Civics class attended MisinfoDay. This media literacy event is hosted by the UW Center for an Informed Public.
Forest Ridge students joined several hundred other high school students in activities, lectures, and digital escape rooms centered around misinformation topics like Misinformation in Memes, Deceptive Data and the Mathematics of Murphy's Law, and TikTok and Viral Information.
What a great way to better understand misinformation and its relevance in today's age.
