Media Literacy Now!
It is more important than ever for teachers and librarians to help students understand the many nuances of media literacy. It is hard for many adults to understand these concepts, so it may be hard for you to know where to start! Fortunately, the News Literacy Project has you covered. The site itself contains a wealth of FREE information about current trends in disinformation. Subscribe to The Sift for weekly emails that can help keep you and your students informed about the ever-changing information landscape!

GEG North Texas
The North Texas Google Educators Group will connect passionate local educators together in person and online to learn, share, and inspire one another. Members will discuss the benefits of technology to schools, classrooms, and communities across the world—both online and at locally run events offline to provide a forum for North Texas educators to collaborate, share, and support each other. GEG-NORTX meets (virtually, of course) the first Thursday of each month at 4:00 p.m. See the GEG-NORTX website for additional details. All educators are welcome!
#CoffeeEDU
Do you enjoy sharing ideas with other educators in an informal setting? If so, #CoffeeEDU might be something you'd enjoy! For one hour a month, join other educators (virtually, for now) and explore solutions to problems, or just get to know colleagues from other districts. Meetings take place the third Saturday of each month from 11:00 a.m. to noon, and you can request the link here. You don't have to be on Twitter to participate, but you can view the hashtag thread here. Join the fun on October 17!
