The Newseum is excited to offer a free three-day institute for teachers.
This unique professional development opportunity will explore the challenges
and opportunities of today's participatory media landscape from both student
and educator perspectives. Attendees will deepen their understanding of
information production and consumption and the power of the First Amendment
through workshops, exhibit exploration, collaborative sharing and creative
thinking. The program provides daily opportunities for hands-on activities,
exploration of artifacts from our collection with an archivist and
independent museum exploration. Significant time will be dedicated to
developing new resources and activities to take back to the classroom.
INSTITUTE DESCRIPTION
Are your students drowning in a sea of (mis)information? Are they always
online but often off track? Are they up to speed on how the First Amendment
supports their posts, pics and chats? Thanks to inventors from Gutenberg to
Zuckerberg, your students consume a constant diet of print media, digital
media and everything in-between. But they aren't always equipped for the
challenges of fully participating in today's media landscape. Join our
community of educators as we explore how to help students combine their
affinity for tech tools and buzzworthy topics with the knowledge and context
to truly empower them as media consumers and creators. We'll use the
phenomenon of "fake news" to explore the complexities of how information is
created, spread and consumed and share easy-to-implement tools to help your
students spot problem stories. We'll also delve into the role of the First
Amendment in framing the ways we interact with the media, how it empowers us
to shape the flow of information and the individual choices we all make
about how to use our freedoms. Throughout, primary sources and case studies
from the past and present will bring these issues to life. Institute
participants will receive Newseum tools and content and will collaborate on
new resources to bring these explorations back to their students and peers.
ALL ATTENDEES WILL RECEIVE:
* Classroom-ready and adaptable resources to implement into existing
curriculum.
* Strategies to implement Common Core, C3 and national
standards-aligned curriculum in the classroom, including primary source
analysis, media literacy and analyzing historical arguments and research.
* An overview of digital classroom resources from NewseumED and other
resources that can be used in the classroom.
* Discussions with the Newseum curatorial and exhibits staff and
access to items in the Newseum collection not on public view.
* A private, behind-the-scenes "Tech Tour" of the Newseum's production
and technology centers.
* The opportunity to have your lesson plan(s) published on
NewseumED.org, which reaches 7 million teachers and students.
* The opportunity to submit a session proposal to present and attend a
regional or national conference as the guest of NewseumED.
* Access to NewseumED staff to personalize a field trip for your
class.
* A letter of recognition sent to your principal and superintendent.
* Complimentary lunch each day.
* NOTE: Teachers outside of the D.C. metro area are encouraged to
apply, but transportation and housing are not included.
