Our programs

  • Teachers learn how digital platforms shape what students see and believe. This workshop explores algorithmic bias, media bias, echo chambers, and the psychology of misinformation. Teachers leave with ready-to-use classroom activities that help students become resilient and mindful digital citizens.

  • Teachers explore how technology has reshaped reading habits and attention spans. In this workshop, they learn practical strategies like Lateral Reading and Hypertext Reading to boost comprehension in digital spaces, leaving with a variety of resources to incorporate into their lesson plans.

  • Effective research is less about finding information and more about judging its credibility. In this workshop, teachers dive into the Lateral Reading approach to learn how to vet online sources, analyze social media accounts and AI bots, and utilize advanced search skills. Educators leave equipped with the latest strategies to cultivate savvy student researchers.

  • AI is entering classrooms faster than teachers are being trained. This workshop provides a foundational introduction to AI, exploring when and how to use it in lesson planning, assessment design, and even chatbot development. Teachers leave with skills to integrate AI thoughtfully and responsibly.

  • Reading today goes beyond books. This workshop is designed for Visual and Performing Arts teachers and explores how artworks, digital photos, and political ads can be “read” as text. Teachers learn methods for teaching visual literacy and guiding students to interpret art critically.

  • Short on time? Schools can combine two workshops into one powerful, extended session. Contact us to create a customized program tailored to your school’s specific needs.
