These guidelines, first published in 2022, are aimed at teachers and educators who are keen to help students enhance their digital literacy competences and to use these competences to tackle the ever-growing challenge of disinformation. They provide practical advice and suggestions that teachers can apply in their classrooms based on specialist knowledge and experience. Updates include several deep dives into topics of specific relevance including the nature of disinformation, the role of GenAI and Social Media Platforms and Influencers in spreading disinformation as well as descriptions of specific strategies to fight disinformation including Prebunking.
Alongside tips and insights, the Guidelines also include several lesson plans which can be used by teachers to tackle disinformation in their classrooms. These Guidelines also include a series of recommendations which can be put forward by teachers to school-leaders and other policymakers to further promote digital literacy in their classrooms and schools. The revision of the 2022 guidelines was carried through an expert working group convened through the EDEH. The work of the group was guided by a small steering group which included Sally Reynolds who also currently works as the Interim COO of MLA.
