Join us as we share our unique approach to bring the Bill of Rights to life for today’s students. From engaging infographics to captivating lessons, along with interactive poster puzzles and beyond, we’ve got all the tools to make the Bill of Rights unforgettable.
As technology evolves, so do the challenges of applying the Bill of Rights to new contexts. This session will explore how founding-era protections of freedom of speech and privacy translate into modern debates over surveillance, digital privacy, and freedom of expression online. Educators will learn strategies to help students apply the first ten amendments to modern issues.
Explore digital literacy skills to empower students to analyze historical and contemporary narratives about the Armenian Genocide and genocide in Nagorno-Karabakh. Participants in this session will examine tools to empower students to critically evaluate news, social media, and academic sources, identify biases, and foster informed discussions on propaganda, denial, genocide, and human rights.
