Whoa, thank you, Ryan.

But I'm just part of one panel of an entire weekend of free events and talks by thought leaders in media education worldwide. Renee Hobbs will be there along with other top scholars as well as folks from media publishers such as Scholastic and Sesame Workshop. There will be free screenings, too, so as Ryan says, please check out the Web site.
