Network Literacy Friday 20th & Sat 21st March, 2009

Teacher-librarians, teachers, information professionals and school executive members are invited to participate in a full day seminar exploring the networks and the connections we can make to other learners and teachers both in our communities and around the globe as 21st Century learners. But being literate in this new learning environment requires more than knowing how to read and write. It requires us to edit, publish, collaborate, create and connect in the process of building our own personal learning spaces. How do we build our own networks in effective, ethical and safe ways? How do we incorporate characteristics of autonomy, diversity, interactivity and openness into our own learning practice and, in turn, model and teach that to our students?

Seminars participants will:

• explore the growing importance of "network literacy" in our learning lives.

• take a look at the tools and strategies that can make RSS an integral part of every educator's professional development and practice

• be encouraged to think out of the box to explore new ways to make personal writing and classroom writing more meaningful and more effective.

• learn about the technical requirements and pedagogical considerations of using Live Web TV in the classroom, and discuss strategies for involving global audiences in the process.

• experience some best practice examples of Live Web TV to get their thinking started for example UStream.tv and Mogulus.com
