I also debuted this year the Meet the Author sessions and the Digital Poster format (through Glogster). Here is an example of a digital poster. We had a few last-minute cancellations, which presented some challenges for implementing these new programmatic features, but there is now plenty of time to work out the kinks before NAMLE 2013 in Los Angeles.
The conference keynote addresses were incredible and diverse. Thank you, Mohammed Bilal, Douglas Rushkoff, and Madeline DiNonno. They are all spectacular at what they do. I also have to give major digital knuckle bumps to my NAMLE Board colleagues who gave 110%—especially Deb Parker (SLEM3), Rhys Daunic (The Media Spot), Ethan Delevan (Seattle Country Day), Annelise Wunerlich (ITVS), and Carol Tizzano (Picture Perfect Productions).

I apologize for not getting around to meeting all those presenters whose work I have come to know and appreciate through this conference planning process. Please feel free to connect so we can collaborate in the near future. Let’s find ways to continue the conversation about media literacy education: Webinar? Skype Mini-Conference? Illuminate through Elluminate? You get the idea. At the very least, I will look forward to seeing you all again at NAMLE 2013 in Los Angeles. You can also follow me on Twitter @vanessadomine.
