[CASL-L] Summer Learning at URI

[Barbara Johnson]

Good Morning,



I have been asked to share the following:

There's still time to register for the 6th annual professional development
program for K-12 educators, college faculty, librarians, youth media
leaders and school and community activists:



Summer Institute in Digital Literacy

www.digiURI.com

University of Rhode Island Downtown Providence Campus

July 15 - 20, 2018



It's a hands-on, minds-on experience like no other. Have you been wanting
to connect the dots between media literacy and digital literacy? This
week-long intensive summer program, co-directed by Renee Hobbs and Julie
Coiro at the University of Rhode Island, helps you develop leadership
skills in digital and media literacy.



This year's event features media literacy activist Nuala Cabral and her
father, the legendary storyteller Len Cabral, whose keynote address is
entitled, "Before There Were Screens, There Were Stories." Nuala and Len
will consider storytelling in relation to civic and community activism and
Nuala will be sharing her experience in bringing Philadelphia's POPPYN
<http://uccollab.org/program/poppyn/> students to meet with youth media
activists in South Africa.



Also new this year, NAMLE members are leading special strands that provide
deep dive experiences. Renee Hobbs leads a special strand focused on
digital literacy in higher education contexts and Yonty Friesem leads a
special strand focused on video production. Westerly High School social
studies teacher Amanda Murphy leads a special strand for K-12 educators.
URI professor Mary Moen leads a special strand for school, public and
academic librarians. Scarsdale Public Schools Assistant Principal William
Yang leads a special strand on leadership. Join our learning community
where everyone learns from everyone!
