We have some great (free!) resources to help students, teachers, and anyone else with stress management and emotional self-regulation.

We feel like everyone could use some extra support at the moment, so here are some resources you might find helpful as a teacher, a parent, or for your personal use.

This is a spur-of-the-moment thread, so apologies in advance for typos, errors and omissions.

Teach about Disinformation and Social Media with film! Check out our newest resources to help you prepare students with critical thinking skills and an informed understanding of social media, disinformation and media literacy.

Our film guide for And So It Begins features profiles Nobel-prize winner Maria Ressa (shown in the attached video talking with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show). This teaching resource explores how social media and disinformation can fragmented perceptions of reality in ways that influence politics and everyday people. It's a great tool to get students thinking critically about how online media affects them and their world.

In a short clip from The Daily Show, Nobel Prize winner Maria Resser speaks with host Jon Stewart. Maria: By Design, these platforms spread lies: Social Media spreads lies, by a 2018 MIT study, at least 16 times faster. So by design, lies spread faster. That's the incentive. And then in 2017, we saw, in our country, in the Philippines, that if you lace it with fear, anger, and hate, it can go viral. That's the incentive structure. So that was used to attack us. Now imagine, if you're pumped full of — in the Nobel lecture, I called it Toxic Sludge. Online violence is real-world violence. So they hacked our biology. Thinking fast, thinking slow — we're thinking fast people. Our emotions, they change the way we feel — Jon: Reptilian. Maria: — to change the way we look at the world, to change the way we act, to change the way we vote. And as of March this year, V-Dem in Sweden said that 72% of the world is now under authoritarian rule. That we are electing illiberal leaders democratically because of insidious manipulation. So they go hand in hand, money and power. Jon: And now with the horrific events in Utah, everybody has the Zapruder film of it in their pocket. Maria: And it wasn't taken down on Social Meida. Jon: No. Maria: Right? Yeah. Jon: Horrifying.

With many people cancelling their streaming service, we want to point out that many of the films in our library stream for free!

They may be on free platforms like Kanopy, or the filmmakers may put them on YouTube or Vimeo. Some filmmakers also offer special free educational licenses or even packages.

The educational game in our collection called "Walden, a game", also offers a free version to educators.

How to find our free films

  1. Check out the films in our resource library.
  2. Look for viewing details in the "Where to Watch" section of a film's page.
  3. If that takes you to a link on JustWatch.com, make sure to adjust the site to your own country settings for local results.

If you have questions about our films and film guides, please ask! We're here to help and we love connecting people with great films and teaching tools. 1/2

Inspire public service in your classroom and community with Resisterhood! Today we're highlighting Luis and Soraida Gutierrez, subjects of our new documentary Resisterhood from director Cheryl Jacobs Crim. Luis Gutierrez, a longtime Congressman from Chicago, led the charge to boycott the 2017 Inauguration, and his wife Soraida inspired their participation in the first Women’s March. Luis's story also highlights the Puerto Rican community and speaks broadly to the modern American immigrant experience.

The section on the Gutierrez Family in the Resisterhood Learning Guide explores the different ways elected officials can work inside a system or challenge it from the outside. It includes great extension activities to pursue civic engagement. For grades 10-12, higher ed and adult learning. It's great for campus screenings and community education, too!

The section on Margaret in the Resisterhood Learning Guide focuses on the driving question: What does it mean to sustain a lifelong commitment to social justice?

Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution follows a group of disabled teens as they become historic disability rights activists.

Crip Camp chronicles decades of disability activism and the fight for disability justice. The film includes the 1973 504 Sit-in, where people with disabilities and the disability community occupied US federal building to push for groundbreaking disability rights legislation. It also highlights the 1990 protests in support of the Americans with Disabilities Act, one of the most stirring scenes imaginable—disabled activists pulling themselves up the Capitol steps in what became known as the “Capitol Crawl.” No overview of US protest history is complete without Crip Camp. 6/n

Today NASA is closing their Office of the Chief Scientist and Office of Technology, Policy, and Strategy and also their Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility branch.

It's a great time to remind your learning community of the incredible achievements of the Black women mathematicians in the 1960's space program that successfully put a man on the Moon. Yes, we're talking about Disney's Hidden Figures.

We offer a Hidden Figures discussion guide that's great for public screenings and low-key classroom use. We also offer classroom-ready lesson plans, across the curriculum, for grades 9-12.
