The survivors’ accounts\, conveyed with clarity\, warmth\, and candor\, provide valuable insights into both the historical realities of the period and the resilience of the human spirit.

SUMMARY:Digital Detectives: Teaching Students to Navigate Misinformation and Media Bias
DESCRIPTION:This is a poster session at the Future of Education Technology Conference.\n\nStudents are inundated with information\, some accurate\, much of it not.

SUMMARY:Critical Media Literacy Training Program for Educators
DESCRIPTION:This is the second of three sessions as part of a professional development series. \nWith the rapid changes in the media ecosystem and the potential disruption and affordances offered by AI\, the need for critical media literacy (CML) amongst educators and their capacity to model and foster such skills in their students is critical. A rise in conspiracy theories and radical political movements means that a critical view of news media is a crucial skill for all citizens. For teachers\, critical media literacy (CML) is not just a skill for democracy: it is also part of almost every aspect of their work as educators. Rapid-fire curricular changes\, a rise in book-banning and false history\, and a student body who have grown up taking social media and AI for granted are only some of the media-related challenges faced by teachers today. This course will provide educators with an accessible and equitable way to learn the skills of critical media literacy. \nDates: January 5 – 12\, 2026 \nTimes:\nLive Zoom sessions held from 5:00pm – 6:00pm EST\, on the following dates: \n\nMonday\, January 5\, 2026\nFriday\, January 9\, 2026\nMonday\, January 12\, 2026\n\nFormat: Online with Live Zoom Sessions (See dates and times above) \nPrice: $295 \nPlease Note: This course is offered on a non-credit basis only.
