AverPoint - Improve Your News Reading
Extension stats
Extension summary
AverPoint turns media literacy into a dynamic, daily practice on real websites. Through daily practice, you can develop the skills, knowledge, and personal drive to apply media literacy in the real world.
We have a Classroom version that's meant for high school and college social studies and ELA classes. We have a Community version that's for adult news readers.
We're grounded in a cognitive approach to media literacy, trying to help you build autonomy over two things:
- The media they consume and
- the meaning they make from media messages. In a free republic, it's crucial each person has the skills, knowledge, and personal drive to maintain this autonomy.
How do we do this?
We have 3 features, and the browser extension plays a role in all 3.
First, our "Conscious Reading" feature helps you measure the news you consume. We analyze your news habits and send you a weekly summary of the sources, topics, and geographies you covered. You can set weekly goals and track your progress. Instead of getting lost in the daily controversy, we help you learn what really matters and support quality sources, including the shrinking local press.
