Unlocking the Declaration’s Influence with iCivics

Friday, December 5 | 1:50 pm – 2:45 pm

Carrie Ray-Hill & Amanada Setters

Participants will interact with iCivics’ newest game, Investigation Declaration, to learn how to leverage the game to help students see the power of long-standing and transformative ideas. The game centers the Declaration of Independence as a reflection of a changing world and as an inspiration across the globe. Participants will also be guided on using the game’s classroom-ready support materials to expand student learning beyond the game.

Speak Now: Empowering Media Literacy for Informed Democratic Participation

Saturday, December 6 | 10:50 am – 11:45 am

Ryan New & Christina Ross

Students face a deluge of information, spending hours on social media, yet often lack skills to critically evaluate sources and identify bias, including AI-generated content. This session equips educators to empower students to navigate our complex digital world and engage with their communities. This approach aligns with current trends in social studies education that emphasize inquiry-based learning and civic engagement.
