You are teaching an asynchronous online course.
One of thousands such courses.
You discover that one student has engaged a GenAI agent imposter to take the course in their place. The GenAI imposter reads and responds to the course readings; it takes the quizzes; it completes and submits the culminating project.
Algorithmically, without any participation from the student.
What might this mean for the student? ...for you? ...for your institution?

The start of the school year is always exciting. It's also a great time to begin media literacy education because there are so many opportunities. Veteran media literacy educators join host Carol Arcus to describe and discuss their first media literacy lessons of the school year. Listeners will gain great and simple teaching ideas for their own media literacy education.
Happy Media Literacy Week!
(At The Association for Media Literacy, EVERY week is Media Literacy Week!)

Chelsea Attwell engages 3 teacher-librarians in a rich conversation exploring ways that they integrate and teach media literacy skills in their schools. Listeners will gain great insights into media literacy theory and how it might be applied to concrete learning.

Early Years Media Literacy Education may at first seem challenging but is entirely doable.

In this episode of Mediacy, we are talking about media literacy in the early years with Dr. Faith Rogow. Dr. Rogow is an independent scholar who has been a media literacy educator, innovator, and strategist since the 1980s. On today's show, we are talking with Dr. Rogow about her groundbreaking book Media Literacy for Young Children: Teaching Beyond the Screen Time Debates. Listen in for an engaging, insightful, and fun conversation!

Heidi Siwak and Margie Keats bring their classroom experiences with GenerativeAI Apps to Mediacy. What are the challenges? How might teachers meet those challenges? How might GenerativeAI support learning?

A panel of directors in the Association for Media Literacy will gather to chat about media topics of particular interest, what media approaches are somewhat misguided (hint: it's not all about "fake news"), and current events through a media literacy lens.

On the panel:

Neil Andersen
Diana Maliszewski
