I'll first focus on digital literacy and multimedia composition as I lead round table discussions and share a poster. I look forward to the discussions I'll have related to the use of digital tools and composition in the literacy studio to foster students' development of reading, writing, speaking, presentation, and 21st century skills: communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity.
I also look forward to reading and learning about ways to continue to develop students' reading and writing engagement, comprehension, and routines. Similarly I will focus on my own professional and recreational writing and reading efforts as I know that we teach better if we are also engaged in the many curriculum areas we promote each day.
Finally I'll look for examples of interdisciplinary, project/problem base work that relates to literacy development, student engagement, and knowledge building.
Today's Agenda:

If I'm still energized, I'll attend this event. I look forward to the vibrant presentations that
are included in this celebration.
