Event Name:
How Images Manipulate Us
Competency:
Communication and Reference
Description:
Teaching students and adults about fake news, digital literacy, and understanding data requires a deeper dive into images. What is the psychology behind images seen every day? Who is manipulating images and with what purpose? What part do Artificial Intelligence systems play? This session will explore images and charts to help break down what people see and feel. The majority of this session is focused on still images. The more practice people have in evaluating images, the better they are at discerning the real purpose.
Learning Objectives:
Dr. Robbie Barber is an electrical engineer from Georgia Tech who wandered into a school library. As a teacher-librarian, she works with high school students and teachers to find the best resources, use technology, and locate the perfect book. Dr. Barber teaches classes on using research databases and how to better search the internet. She researches the latest technology, plays with AI, and creates professional presentations on recognizing fake news and other tech-infused ideas in the classroom and the library.
Learning Objectives:
- Evaluate an image's purpose by its creator.
- Provide practice images to use with your patrons.
- Conduct lessons on image manipulations and an understanding of AI images.
