Getting Smart Town Halls

Our regular Town Halls create space to collaboratively design, discuss and discover what’s next in learning. Our time together will help to build collective momentum and understanding, make us more aware of what the field needs next, and it better enables us to empower every learner to thrive and act with purpose.

Each month, Getting Smart hosts a town hall on a selected topic. During this collaborative time, attendees have the opportunity to learn, connect and ask questions about the future of learning. 

Do you have a topic you’d love to see covered? Email Mason or tweet us @Getting_Smart using the hashtag #GSTownHall.

Why Media Literacy is a Civic Imperative for Our Communities

As we navigate through a world where information is as boundless as it is complex, understanding media literacy is no longer optional but essential. This theme isn’t just about consuming information but mastering the art of discerning fact from fiction—a superpower in today’s decentralized media landscape where anyone can broadcast information.
Join us in our next Town Hall where we’ll dive deep into the current state of media literacy, exploring the shifting goalposts of the tools we wield to access information. We’ll discuss actionable strategies for states, districts, schools, and families to enhance their media literacy capabilities and highlight trailblazers who are leading the charge towards a more informed society.
Media can entertain, inform, and connect us. Yet, it also has the power to addict, manipulate, and divide. Join us as we unpack these dualities and equip ourselves with the knowledge to navigate this dynamic with curiosity, strategy, and resourcefulness.
