Coming Soon.... National Media Education Conference
There's Still Time To Register
There's still time to sign up for the 2007 National Media Education Conference in St. Louis, where the AMLA is offering more than 75 workshops, panels and screenings from June 23 -26. You can register ONLINE or in person at the conference. See the conference schedule online for onsite registration times.
CAN'T MAKE IT TO THE FULL CONFERENCE?
We understand packed summer schedules. That's why we've made it possible for you to register for 1 day (Sunday) or 2 days (Monday & Tuesday) instead of the full conference. Visit the conference registration page for details.
NMEC Bookstore launches
AMLA's new online Marketplace
Pack an empty bag to take home the many terrific media literacy resources you'll find at the official NMEC conference bookstore. Like a kid in a candy store, you'll marvel at such riches in one room - books, videos, DVDs, posters, and classroom curriculum resources for teaching media literacy - plus books and DVDs by keynote speakers, presenters and media literacy leaders!
AMLA members will receive an extra 5% member's discount on all purchases at the conference. Be sure to show your conference badge with your membership star!
This year's bookstore also launches AMLA's Media Literacy Online Marketplace, a new AMLA project incorporating the Center for Media Literacy's former resource catalog. AMLA is grateful to receive the unsold inventory from the CML catalog, and many great titles and favorite videos will be available on a clearance table at drastically reduced prices.
It's a great opportunity to get the resources you've always wanted! The store will take both credit cards and purchase orders - but it's first come, first served, and when they're gone, they're gone!
Take home an autographed copy! Check the schedule outside the store each day to see when keynote speakers and new AMLA authors will be signing their books.
And best of all, your purchase of resources at the conference - and online about August 15 - helps to directly support AMLA and its mission to promote the growth of media literacy education in the USA!
Bring Your Flashdrives
Finally, a chance to carry home a wealth of information from the conference without lugging an extra bag. The AMLA's solution to conference handout overload is our MEDIA HUB, which will be available to participants at the St. Louis conference. Many conferences offer cyber-cafes where you can check your email, but the AMLA is raising the bar by offering an electronic gathering place, a communications commons, and a reference library all rolled into one.
At the MEDIA HUB, conference participants will be able to access their email and conference schedule and upcoming program events. But the service doesn't stop there. The AMLA will also offer mini-tutorials to help you learn to use new technologies such as podcasts and blogging to support learning.
And here's where the flashdrives come in - we'll also be offering for download a variety of materials to assist you in your media literacy work after the conference. Downloads will include handouts and resources uploaded by conference presenters, bookmark lists of sites related to the conference theme, and information provided by sponsors and exhibitors.
See you at the MEDiA HUB.
