Empowering Teens: Enhancing Information Literacy Through Games and Interactive Programming

Register for this webinar!

Learn fun ways to help teens boost information literacy, featuring escape room games and social media tools, developed with public libraries.

You can help your teen patrons to become better navigators of the information that they find online. Come learn about how you can offer fun and engaging experiences that bring teens to the library and build their information literacy skills. Researchers at the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public will walk you through programs developed with public libraries, including an escape room game and youth video program. You’ll also discover activities adapted from school libraries that help teens reflect on their interaction with social media and give them the tools to verify questionable posts.

Presented by: Liz Crouse, Research Program Coordinator, Center for an Informed Public, University of Washington; and Stacey Wedlake, Research Scientist, University of Washington Information School
