NewsGuard is a new and free browser extension that provides rates the credibility of news sources (you can read more about it at today’s New York Times article, Veterans of the News Business Are Now Fighting Fakes).

It looks pretty interesting, and it could have a lot of potential. They are specifically targeting libraries and educators, and have a decent, though simple, lesson plan on informational literacy on their site.

It would be nice if they had a complete list of news sources and how they rate each, but it appears they don’t – or, at least, I can’t find it. Once you have the browser extension, it will tell you the rating of the site when you go there or when it appears in search results.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
