Mediawise Society’s Educational Resources page is a free collection of lesson plans, educational activities, teaching materials, guides and interactive resources designed to develop media and digital competences. The collection includes resources on media literacy, misinformation, propaganda, critical thinking, online safety, democracy, digital culture and AI in education.
Why it matters for ENACT-AI
The collection is particularly relevant to ENACT-AI because it combines media literacy, critical thinking, digital citizenship, misinformation, propaganda, online safety and a specific guide on using AI in the classroom. Mediawise explicitly focuses on helping young people critically understand media and digital environments and make informed decisions.
Learning outcomes
Depending on the resource selected, learners can develop the ability to critically evaluate media and online information; identify misinformation, propaganda and manipulation techniques; verify information before sharing it; understand how media influence perceptions; use digital media responsibly; recognise online risks; participate more thoughtfully in democratic life; and use AI more effectively and responsibly for learning.
Suggested activity
“Before You Share: Media, AI & Misinformation” – Give participants several social-media posts/news items, including one AI-generated or AI-assisted example. In groups, they identify the source, purpose, evidence, emotional language, possible manipulation and indicators of AI-generated content. They then decide whether they would share, verify or reject each item and explain why. Finish with a group discussion about how AI can amplify misinformation.
