We are living and teaching through an infodemic: An era defined not by scarcity of knowledge but by its overwhelming abundance. In this time, the learning sciences, cognitive psychology, and educational psychology are seeking to understand how humans filter, trust, and make sense of information. 

Join ISM’s Dr. Maggie Renken as she explores how the information economy affects psychological safety, social-emotional well-being, and our evolving roles as experts, educators, and learners. Grounded in research on personal epistemologies, epistemic aims, cognitive resource optimization, deliberate ignorance, and even boredom, this webinar will help you navigate a world where seeking, evaluating, and applying information has become a central task for developing children as well as for adults.
