The Media Literacy Conference 2010 will be a major gathering for all teachers, teacher trainers, researchers, policymakers and media professionals interested in teaching and learning about the media. It is jointly organised by the Media Education Association and the Centre for the Study of Children, Youth and Media at the Institute of Education, London, in partnership with Ofcom.Bringing together practitioners at all levels of the 3-19 education system with researchers in the fields of education, literacy and media technologies, the conference will provide a unique opportunity to share information, evidence and ideas about media teaching and learning at different age-levels. There will be an academic strand of papers and debate, and a ‘Continuing Professional Development’ strand of workshops, as well as major keynote speakers and discussion panels. An exhibition of resources, hardware and software from educational publishers, media industries and other service providers will provide information on new ways to support learning and teaching about the media.
The conference website contains details of the wide range of workshops and more are being posted every week. Workshops already confirmed include:
• How to teach about ‘talent TV’
