Tom Bober (@CaptainLibrary) has collaborated with educators that are nervous about teaching anything related to the upcoming elections. Since even our elementary students are hearing about elements of the election, he has taken the opportunity to teach a foundation of news literacy and connect it to the information they are hearing outside of the library (and school) walls. In this episode, Shannon and Tom talk about how news literacy is giving us a universal touch point unique to the moment.
