School Leadership 2.0
A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
Giving Students the Skills to Spot Fake News
By learning how to deconstruct news stories and identify media bias, students equip themselves to become smarter digital consumers.
“The need to address fake news and media literacy became very apparent in the last three to five years,” says Fairview High School social studies teacher Nikki Nies, when speaking about the overwhelming number of media sources in today’s world. “I started little by little to add that into my curriculum, and now that's the biggest bulk of what I teach in my current events and media literacy course.” To help her students become adept at spotting fake news, Nies has designed a variety of lessons filled with fun, interactive activities to help them better understand how it’s created and spread.

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.
