Disinformation is a major threat and now a fact of life, and dealing with it will be an ever-more necessary skill for the next four years. As our young people come to grips with a barrage of questionable information, online and elsewhere, we need to ensure they’re equipped with the skills to deal with it. To that end, MediaWise and YouTube have partnered to launch a teen-focused media literacy curriculum aimed at combating misinformation and promoting digital well-being. The program gives educators tools to teach students aged 13-17 how to evaluate sources, identify emotional language, and understand AI. Launched during Media Literacy Week last October, the curriculum builds on YouTube’s successful Hit Pause video series and includes lessons, slide decks, videos, and instructor guides. The initiative also involves international partners like MediaSmarts (Canada) and Mythos Labs (India) to adapt content for global audiences. Free and accessible at www.hitpausewithmediawise.com, the program emphasizes empowering teens to navigate digital environments responsibly. We can check out this Media Literacy course, then recommend it to teens and educators.
