As the first generation of students to grow up with social media platforms as a daily part of life where information spreads quickly, media literacy and an understanding of misinformation is more important than ever before. It’s why our “GetReal” – a coalition of students throughout the state – is focused on engaging our high-school peers, teachers, counselors and experts on this issue to launch a conversation amongst our peers on the importance of media literacy; provide a basic set of tools for students to think critically about where they obtain their information; train students to be more active in confronting disinformation when they see it; and inspire our generation to respectfully and responsibly engage on critical issues impacting our world.
