When the Internet Eats Itself: Teaching Truth in the Age of AI Slop
As AI reshapes how information is created, shared, and trusted, the need for critical information literacy has never been greater.
This session examines the pivotal role of teacher librarians in helping schools navigate a world of AI slop, misinformation, and disinformation.
Participants will explore practical strategies for teaching lateral reading, source verification, and critical AI literacy – skills that empower students to question, evaluate, and create information responsibly. Together we’ll consider how the foundations of truth, credibility, and authorship are under pressure – and what it means to prepare students for informed participation in an AI-mediated world.
The session will be recorded and sent to attendees following the event.
