Series 2 'Misinformation' Resources Toolkit is now available

Series 2 'Misinformation' Resources Booklet

We have now created the first version of 'Maddie is Online' Series 2 booklet on 'Misinformation'. You can find it and download it via this link: https://www.slideshare.net/martzoukou/maddie-is-online-series-2-misinformation-booklet-updated. There is also an open version for the community to add to and enrich as these resources get updated and change. Please do not hesitate to list you own interesting projects and work.

Series 2 has 11 video episodes. Duration: 1 hr 11 mins.

Access: https://bit.ly/3wmXjwU

The series challenges children to think critically about the information they encounter online and the sources they use, and encourages them to consider the consequences of online misinformation.

All the included resources in the toolkit are free to use and are intended for children aged, approximately, from 9 to 13 years old. They can be delivered by professionals, such as educators, librarians and youth workers, who wish to support and engage young people on these topics.

Each episode includes a short description of the story, the learning outcomes, 'Lead-in' and 'Activity Plan' sections, directly related to each video episode, which are intended to take approximately 45 minutes each to complete.

These are followed by 'ideas for educators' and 'extension activities', which help to further explore key concepts and additional expansive resources that can be used as desired or as class time allows, in follow up sessions or set as home activities. They are tagged by function (e.g. educator reflection points, educator research, background information and thinking points, practical hands-on activities, presentation slides with discussion elements, child-friendly activities and other printable activities). Finally, also included, where appropriate, are applicable background resources, guides to explanations, and research for educators.
We hope that you find this toolkit helpful and that you also enjoy the cartoon series!
