We approach the practice of digital literacy in a unique way. We see it not primarily as a form of technology integration, but as an expanded conceptualization of literacy. This summer, we're emphasizing (1) creative expression as part of teaching and learning (2) inquiry and critical analysis, (3) storytelling and social justice, (4) digital authorship and (5) informal leadership.

Participants will learn to use a variety of digital platforms, tools and technologies by exploring and creating messages using many different forms of digital media. They have time to develop plans they can implement, informed by rich discussions with K-12 educators, college faculty, librarians, researchers and media professionals.

This summer, our keynote address is offered by the legendary African-American storyteller Len Cabral and his daughter, the media literacy activist Nuala Cabral. In their talk, "Before There Were Screens, There Were Stories," they will reflect on the experiences of tellers and listeners in a fast-evolving media landscape where screens are ubiquitous, attention spans are short, multi-tasking is the norm and human connection is at our fingertips, yet fleeting. Understanding digital and media literacy through intergenerational knowledge sharing, global perspectives on social justice, and activism through youth media will be thought-provoking for all participants.
