Ever wonder what your students think when they read, "Jerome Powell works for RUSSIA!", "China set to STEAL YOUR JOB!", or "Alexander Hamilton was a FRAUD!"? This session will give you ideas and resources for teaching students about economic concepts in the context of media literacy.
Misleading, incorrect, and fake news is everywhere – equip your economics students with strategies for determining what is real and what is false online. Five Econiful members will win a copy of Daniel Levitin's A Field Guide to Lies: Critical Thinking with Statistics and the Scientific Method.
