MisinfoDay is an annual media literacy educational event that brings together high school students, teachers and librarians on university campuses for a day to learn how to navigate complex information environments and make informed decisions about what to believe online.
Extending its mission worldwide, the MisinfoDay program now offers a variety of resources, toolkits, and sub-programs for passionate educators and organizers around the world to bring MisinfoDay to their classrooms and local communities.

MEDIA LITERACY WEEK | MisinfoDay in Your Classroom
Bring MisinfoDay lessons to your students with “MisinfoDay in Your Classroom,” now hosted during Media Literacy Week.
We kick things off with a virtual event in early October where MisinfoDay presenters walk you through new resources. During Media Literacy Week (Oct 21-25), you use the MisinfoDay Map slides to show students they’re part of a movement, combine them with an activity from our resource library, and connect to other classes through our MisinfoDay Padlet.
YEAR-ROUND RESOURCE | MisinfoDay Resource Library
We offer a library of free lessons and resources for educators to incorporate into their classrooms. New curricular resources are published annually in October.
Access the MisinfoDay Resource Library here.
CUSTOM EVENT FOR YOUR COMMUNITY | MisinfoDay @ My Community
We offer a toolkit and guide for educators and educational organizations and institutions to organize and host their own MisinfoDay in their local communities.
Learn more about MisinfoDay @ My Community here.
STUDENT-LED EVENT | Media Mentorship
We offer a toolkit for educators who want to host an event at their school where students teach an audience in their community (e.g., parents, grandparents, school staff) how to tell fact from fiction online and navigate complex information environments.
We can start planting seeds, getting [students] thinking about these different tools and then hopefully, they’re going to their classrooms and trying them out with their teachers, talking about them with their friends. — MisinfoDay Program Coordinator
