🔹 The number of AI tools out there is overwhelming.
🔹 Teachers don't want to play "gotcha games" with students using AI.
🔹 Implementing AI is just another thing on teachers' already full plates.

[The Integrity Project @tipazorg]

At the 2025 #SXSW EDU conference, a panel of experts discussed the evolving importance of media literacy education amid rising misinformation and political polarization. @SteveSaltwick, who works with @braverangels — a national nonprofit that works on healing the wounds of political polarization — shared his own experience being misled by a fake video, emphasizing the ease with which even informed individuals can be deceived.

Panelists — including Saltwick, Tanner Higgin, Ph.D. of @WestEd, and digital educator @KBeddes of @JordanDistrict — argued for a proactive, inclusive approach to media literacy that integrates real-world media analysis, supports respectful dialogue, and promotes character development. They highlighted practical strategies for educators, such as using authentic media, encouraging cross-perspective engagement, and embedding media literacy into existing curriculum rather than treating it as an add-on. The goal is to equip students not only with fact-checking skills but with the emotional and critical faculties to navigate today's complex media landscape.

This growing awareness of the emotional and psychological dynamics of misinformation reflects a deeper challenge: today, misinformation doesn’t just spread — it attaches itself to who we are and becomes us.
