New Media Gallery at the NCTE Annual Convention

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 promoting 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!

Devon,

Speaking of new media - looks like the hashtag #ncte is the one that most people are currently using for this year's conference. See you in the twitter-sphere! #ncte

Do we have an official twitter ID for ncte2009? I believe we had something last year but it may've just been a hashtag. Should we just do a hashtag like #ncte2009 or leave off the year part?
