SUMMARY:International Communication Association's 65th Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Communication Across the Life Span\nThe 2015 conference theme “Communication Across the Life Span” encourages academics to explore the various ways in which our discipline provides a lens for interpreting the evolving meanings\, relationships\, experiences\, and critical crossroads of the life course. Technological evolution\, economic changes\, medical advancements\, environmental turbulence\, political movements\, and other evolving circumstances not only influence our experiences across the life span\, but also the development of social policies and ethical frameworks that shape societies. Across domains\, life-span dynamics are inseparable from the communication processes surrounding them.\n\nThis year’s conference theme seeks to explore the multiple ways communication affects\, reflects and directs life’s trajectory. As we grow up and grow old\, embrace new experiences\, try on new roles\, and adopt new media technologies\, our sense of time\, space\, connection\, and identity are fundamentally explored through communication. The questions of why\, how\, with whom\, and to what end humans communicate reflect and shape their ever-changing life-span position. And\, while the “life span” can be conceived as a continuum\, it is also one hinged by critical junctures and bound by cultural definitions that can be better understood through communication.\n\nEarly registration ends May 1\, 2015.\n\nClick here for more information.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Betting on Elmo\, Martha\, and Lena: The Promise of Technology to Reach & Support Parents in Creating Literacy and Language Rich Environments
DESCRIPTION:Parents are too often an untapped asset in building young children’s pathways to literacy and overall success. They\, more than anyone else\, can have the greatest impact on children reading proficiently by the end of third grade when they create literacy- and language-rich environments\, a key indicator of school readiness. Technology can be a powerful tool to reach the numbers of parents we need to reach. But how might we better use technology in ways that promote science-based learning and development that will promote both deeper human relationships and stronger 21st century skills? What are the best technology tools and how do we get these into the hands of low-income families? What models can we learn from? And how do we measure and track our efforts? In this webinar\, we will view and discuss several 3-5 minute videos that spotlight how pioneering early childhood professionals are using technology to reach families.\n\nJoin Lisa Guernsey\, Director: Learning Technologies & Director: Early Education Initiative\, and Michael Levine\, Executive Director\, Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop in this interactive webinar hosted by the Campaign for Grade Level Reading to learn about what research tells us about the promise and challenges of today’s ubiquitous media and technology environment. Based on the findings in their forthcoming book\, Tap\, Click Read: Growing Readers in a World of Screens\, they will recommend effective\, modern ways to support parents\, educators and other community leaders in creating literacy- and language-rich environments.\n\nRegister for the webinar here\n\n

SUMMARY:Dust or Magic AppCamp 2015
