My poor neglected blog but I am here with an invitation.
The LOMCIRA Annual General Meeting
“Rethinking Reading Comprehension, Writing, and Learning in an Online World”
Dr Donald Leu (board member, IRA; co-director, New Literacies Research Lab, U of Connecticut) spoke recently at the BCLCIRA meeting in Vancouver in February, looking at what are the new literacies required in the 21st century (see my previous blog on this). If you missed this event and/or would like to learn more then please attend the upcoming LOMCIRA AGM to be held in the library of the new “green” Charles Dickens Elementary School, 1010 E 17th Avenue, Vancouver, near Fraser and Kingsway, on Thursday, April 23, 2009. We will visit some of his recommended websites and engage in a discussion of his work.
The event runs from 4 to 6 pm, includes a tour of the school, a glass of wine and snacks, and we suggest you may want to dine out on nearby Main Street.
If you are not a member of LOMCIRA, visit the LOMCIRA website for more info. The cost of this event for non-members is $5, payable at the door. Register with me (you can just add a comment here if you like) until April 17.
