Are you going to NCTE next week?

Are you interested in media literacies, connected learning, or participatory culture? If not, do you want to at least hangout with people who are?

YOU (yes, you!) should come to the NCTE Media and Digital Literacy (MADLit) Assembly planning session. Briefly, the MADLit group is currently a “collaborative” within NCTE (that my friend Robyn Seglem and I are co-chairing). This meeting will be to gauge interest and shape the group into a more official “Assembly.” This would allow us to create more conference opportunities, possibly create workshops or journals, and have more flexibility with our programming. Ultimately, we want  to better connect with the media enthusiasts who attend NCTE and this is our opportunity to get planning time at the conference. We want need your help! Seriously!

We will be meeting on Saturday from 5:45 to 7:15 p.m. in National Harbor 6 of the conference center.

Again, everyone is welcome to this planning meeting – we are hopeful that participants will help shape the future of this group. Leadership opportunities and future activities will be discussed!

I hope to see you there.

Note: If you are interested in participating but will not be at NCTE, drop me a note on twitter or in the comments. WiFi dependent, I can open up a Google Hangout for non-DC-bound folks to participate.
