Teaching Media Literacy and ChatGPT at Schools: Why It Matters

October 19, 2023October 14, 2023 by Niall McNulty

Teaching media literacy has become increasingly important in today’s digital age, where information is easily accessible and can spread rapidly. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the recent release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, educators are faced with the challenge of preparing students to be critical consumers of information.

ChatGPT, a chatbot that can generate human-like responses to text prompts, has sparked concerns over its potential use in academic dishonesty. However, it also presents an opportunity for educators to teach media literacy skills, such as evaluating sources and detecting bias. By incorporating ChatGPT into classroom activities, students can learn to distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources of information, as well as develop a deeper understanding of AI technology.

Schools have a responsibility to equip students with the skills necessary to navigate the complex media landscape of today’s world. Teaching media literacy and AI literacy, with the help of tools like ChatGPT, can help students become more critical thinkers and better prepared for the challenges of the future. As AI technology continues to advance, it is crucial that educators stay up-to-date and adapt their teaching methods to ensure that students are well-equipped for the digital age.
