Wednesday May 28, 2025 1:05pm - 3:25pm CDT
Ever wonder how a simple story can turn into viral chaos online? In this high-energy, hands-on deep dive, you’ll experience the Broken Telephone of the Internet—a classroom-ready simulation that unpacks how information shifts, bends, and sometimes breaks as it travels through today’s media landscape.

You’ll step into roles like AI news bots, influencers, and traditional journalists as you explore how bias, monetization, and algorithms impact what students see and believe online. This session blends media literacy, AI awareness, and critical thinking, showing you how to help students decode information in a fast-paced digital world.

Walk away with:
    •    A full simulation you can adapt for grades 4–12
    •    Printable role cards, debrief strategies, and classroom tips
    •    A deeper understanding of how AI impacts the stories students encounter every day

No lectures here—just immersive learning and meaningful conversations you can take straight to your classroom.
