AI is helping us achieve more, faster but it is also making it harder to confidently identify facts. Algorithms shape which stories appear at the top of our feeds.
Students need the knowledge and skills to explore and question new technology and to verify and think critically about what they view – whether it’s a viral video, a political meme, or an alarming headline.
Our bundle of AI and digital literacy lessons build critical thinkers for a digital world. Through informed discussions about media, technology and the impact of AI, these lessons empower students to navigate an evolving world with confidence.
