CALL FOR PROPOSALS: NAMLE 2013 CONFERENCE JULY 12-‐‑13 IN LOS ANGELES Conference Themed "ʺIntersections: Teaching and Learning across Media” Session Proposals due Monday, January 21, 2013
(Los Angeles, CA -‐‑ January 15, 2013) – Call for proposals are being requested by the 2013 National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE) Conference, which will convene in Torrance, California on July 12-‐‑13. Hundreds of educators in the field of media literacy will attend the conference to share ideas and information on the impact of media on society and ways of educating teachers and students to respond to new pressures and opportunities inherent in a highly mediated culture. The NAMLE 2013 Conference theme is "ʺIntersections: Teaching and Learning across Media."ʺ Media-‐‑savvy educators now have the chance to articulate via proposed sessions how new pedagogies can erect road signs at the intersections where communication practices, platforms, and cultures cross paths. We seek innovative perspectives, refreshing ways to approach our educational problems and generate dialogue relevant to 21st Century careers, citizens, relationships, and lifestyles. Session proposals are due by 11:59 PM (PST) Monday, January 21, 2013. We welcome session proposals from media producers, media literacy educators, advocates, and researchers who use media as the backbone to teaching and learning. Proposals should provoke new areas of media literacy practice both in and out of the classroom and offer guidance towards a deeper understanding of how creative production can offer a balanced ethical approach across media. Participants will have the opportunity to share evidence that inquiry-‐‑based teaching can produce deeply engaged thinkers and communicators. Educators and thought leaders interested in proposing a session can submit their proposal by January 21, 2013 at: http://namle.net/conference/call-‐‑for-‐‑proposals Media communications are ubiquitous, and youth often adopt these technologies at a faster pace than schools can integrate them into curriculum.

NAMLE 2013: Filmmaker Tiffany Shlain Announced as Keynote Speaker Los Angeles, CA—Today conference organizers announced that Filmmaker and Founder of Webby Awards co-founder Tiffany Shlain (Brain Power: From Neurons to Networks, Connected: An Autoblogography About Love, Death & Technology) has been chosen as one of the keynote speakers for this year’s National Association Media Literacy in Education (NAMLE 2013). Shlain will speak on the morning of Friday, July 12. Honored by Newsweek as one of the “women shaping the 21st century,” Tiffany Shlain is a filmmaker, the founder of The Webby Awards, and a co-founder of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. Tiffany’s films and other work have received 50 awards and distinctions. In 2011, she delivered the keynote commencement address at UC Berkeley. Her last four films premiered at Sundance, including her 2011 documentary, Connected, which The New York Times hailed as “examining everything from the Big Bang to Twitter.” Connected was selected by the State Department as one of the films to represent America around the world for the 2012 American Film Showcase. Brain Power was also selected for 2013-2014 American Film Showcase. Tiffany is currently working on the film series Let It Ripple: Mobile Films for Global Change, 16 shorts that look at what connects us as humans. The project employs Cloud Filmmaking, an approach she developed that enlists the participation of people all over the Web. In 2012, she published The Cloud Filmmaking Manifesto at the Tribeca Film Festival, where she received a Disruptive Innovation Award for her film work. Tiffany is a Henry Crown Fellow at the Aspen Institute and a member of the advisory boards for the MIT-IBM Network Science Research Center and for the Institute for the Future. She was invited to advise former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about the Internet and technology.
