The Media Spot

Daniel Storchan and I will be co-presenting at the 2009 National Association for Media Literacy Education Conference in Detroit during the first week in August. The theme of the conference is "Bridging Literacies: Critical Connections in a Digital World", which is right in our wheelhouse. Dan and I have been working for the better part of the decade in a variety of capacities to bridge traditional learning environments with new media and technologies.

Here are notes and resources from the panel we presented on with Sherri Hope Culver, Renee Hobbs, and Frank Baker, at the Celebration of Teaching and Learning conference on March 7th, 2009.
Schools are working with a flexible definition of literacy, influenced by established core concepts of media literacy. This presentation showed how schools we work with are approaching the planning and execution of productions that address objectives across their curricula.
