College Hour – Fact, Fiction, and feelings in the classroom

What impact does misinformation have in the classroom? In this round table discussion, we will share our personal experiences with handling fact, fiction, and feelings in our classroom. In addition, we will construct strategies how to create a space that allows for sharing of alternate perspectives in a way that fosters critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and higher order thinking. This session is part of the Fall 2018 ARC Colloquium: Misinformation in the Public Sphere, which addresses the extent of misinformation of all kinds in the world around us, seeks to make us aware of its existence, and proposes conversations about how to deal with it inside and outside the classroom.
