Media Literacy 101

Challenging Mis/Dis/Mal Information

For Adults

About the Program

Learn how to navigate the online world with confidence. This program will help adults and seniors build media‑literacy skills and better recognize misinformation, disinformation, and misleading content. Through guided activities and real‑world examples, we’ll explore how to think critically about what we see online and practice simple strategies for checking information before we believe or share it.

You’ll leave with practical tips, tools, and questions you can use every day to spot red flags, verify sources, and feel more in control of your online experience. No background knowledge required—just bring your curiosity and an open mind.
