NCTE New Media Gallery 2009- Don't Miss It !

[Frank W. Baker]

You’ve heard of blogs, wikis, and nings, but you’re wondering how to use them in your classroom? We have some exciting possibilities on exhibit at our New Media Gallery, Friday, November 20, 2009 from 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. in Room 202A of the Convention Center. Sponsored by NCTE’s Commission on Media, the New Media Gallery can be your “one-stop shopping” location for all things related to new literacies. Showcasing teachers and students who are working with new media in innovative ways to critically analyze and create, the Gallery will be filled to the brim with resources, including multiple handouts, books, and many experts there to answer your questions all day. Presentations and installations will spotlight teachers who are prom! oting critical literacy, while also expanding their repertoire of texts to include such new media as podcasting, blogging, videomaking, web publishing, and text messaging. Stay all day or just drop in for a session or two. The Gallery will feature brief presentations beginning at the session times listed below, but most of each session will consist of answering any questions from participants who may want to apply these ideas in their own settings. Conference attendees are welcome to come and go as they please during the day, viewing the various installations and participating in discussions with presenters in an ongoing dialogue about new media. Bring your laptop, log into our strong wireless connection, and join the discussion and excitement in the New Media Gallery! See the day's schedule of topics and presenters here

I definitely plan on hanging out in the New Media Gallery. Anyone you recommend seeing outside of 202A. I'll be there Fri-Sun.
Thanks for any suggestions.
