AllSides for Schools
Digital Literacy & Experiential Civics
Equip students with the skills they need to participate thoughtfully in a democratic society – and in life.
Teachers in all 50 states use our balanced news, media bias resources, and dialogue platform to build the skills that students need to navigate a constantly changing, often divisive and toxic, online landscape.
AllSides lesson plans, tools and resources are available with a free account. (No credit card required.) You can be ready to teach digital literacy in 10 minutes.
How to use AllSides in 5 Easy Steps
Our suggested classroom flow requires approximately 10 hours of classroom time, but may differ based on the needs of your classroom.
Short on time? Omit steps 4 and 5 to give students a foundational understanding they can build on later. Note: After feedback from teachers using AllSides, our suggested classroom flow now begins with the "Relationships First" lesson plan.
