Praise for NewseumED

“NewseumED develops teacher-reviewed materials that expose students to meaningful content in engaging ways. ”

“You truly are giving us very practical, realistic tools to take home to our students and classroom.”

“From the First Amendment to 9/11, NewseumED has impressive digital content for every unit I teach.”

“I appreciate how easy NewseumED makes it to teach students to think critically about the media. The lessons introduce students to specific strategies they can use when they encounter media to assess its credibility, evaluate the level of bias present in the media, and counter their own biases when encountering information online.”

“The coolest free resource I'd never heard about. @NewseumED champions the #FirstAmendment and media and digital literacy. This is a really great thing. I'm going into the rabbit hole, team! Don't untie my cable or the bell attached to the string around my finger, please. ”

“I have attended some day-long seminars which were overbearing and tedious, and this one was just the opposite. All the content was interesting and will be useful to me in my classroom this year. I was completely impressed with the program. Having traveled from Chicago for the event, I can say it was well worth my time and the expense to attend.”

“NewseumED approaches fact-finding in the lens of journalism. However, this lens isn’t just about journalism — it’s about information as a whole. At times, this lesson plan actually delves deeper than information, too. It requires students to examine themselves and take a hard look at their own biases, the news that attracts them, and the information that repels them.”

“NewseumED offers a wealth of resources for educators on media literacy, including lesson plans, artifacts, and case studies. They also offer virtual classes and professional development for educators.”

“NewseumED is an incredible tool that gives students access to primary sources that can help teach media literacy and provide a closer look into historical events past and present.”

“At a time when the concept of 'truth' has become pretty shaky, having access to primary sources has never been more important. NewseumED deserves a place on every history teacher’s list of go-to resources.”

“[Fact Finder is a] treasure trove of resources ... so you can teach an entire week (maybe more) about media literacy. ”

“I've had [NewseumED] bookmarked for a while, but it wasn't until winter break that I sat down and explored it. I was absolutely blown away by both the quantity and quality of the resources! It's not merely a collection of primary sources - [NewseumED] makes the resources relevant to students framing them around current issues and real world connections. I'm absolutely blown away by the lesson plans. I can't wait to get back to school and see these in action!”

“All the content from NewseumED is high quality and fully accessible for my students. That makes it invaluable!”

“NewseumED is the essential online resource for educators, especially journalism, media arts and civics.”

“My students now are interested in the news, understand media bias and are aware of checking multiple sources to properly evaluate.”
