Media Literacy Week October 21 – 25

In advance of the annual Media Literacy Week in October, Media Smarts offers a lesson plan for grades 9 to 12—Unpacking the Black Box: Explaining Algorithms and AI. In this lesson, students learn about algorithms and AI, how they work and impact our lives, and ethical considerations. This lesson aims to build critical thinking skills by investigating the biases and impacts of AI decision-making and reflecting on the implications to students’ lives.
