Bookelicious PD Book Club: “Developing Digital Detectives” with Jennifer LaGarde
Join bestselling author, educator, librarian, media literacy and edtech expert, Jennifer LaGarde (Fact vs. Fiction) for a professional learning book club centered on her book, with Darren Hudgins, “Developing Digital Detectives: Essential Lessons for Discerning Fact From Fiction in the ‘Fake News’ Era”. Essential for educators who want to empower their students in interrogating information, it offers easy-to-implement lessons to engage students in becoming media literacy “digital detectives,” looking for clues, questioning motives, uncovering patterns, developing theories and, ultimately, delivering a verdict. This timely book club during an election year will examine the current digital landscape and share practical tools and resources necessary to help students navigate social media, artificial intelligence (AI), face-to-face and digital learning, and social-emotional learning. (Audience: K-12 educators and library media specialists – All are welcome)
