Sue Ellen Christian is a communications professor at Western Michigan University. The exhibit was her idea. Full disclosure: I\u2019m a former student of Christian\u2019s. We met in her office on campus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cIt\u2019s really important for our entire society to think about the importance of facts and truth to a democracy,\u201d said Christian. \u201cAnd without an informed citizenry, we cannot have a healthy democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Christian recently received a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, based in Washington D.C., to adapt the Wonder Media exhibit for public libraries. It\u2019s designed to reach middle-school-age children.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Mainly, with her grant, Christian wants to develop something for students whose schools do not have librarians anymore. The website associated with the exhibit has resources for students, teachers, and libraries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Educators help children and teens learn how to identify fake news &#8212; from WMUK.org by Kalloli Bhatt and Sue Ellen Christian Last year at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum, kids could learn about how misinformation is made and how to avoid it.
