For the first time, peak Victorian teaching associations the Australian Literacy Educators’ Association (ALEA) and Victorian Association for the Teaching of English (VATE) are collaborating with ATOM on a program for the 2016 Screen Futures Summit.
These sessions will focus on the interplay between Media, Literacy and English, and how this can be realised in classroom practice. Issues, ideas and understandings will be discussed and debated by key Literacy and English educators.
Keynote speakers, informative panels and a range of practical workshops pertaining to primary and secondary English and Literacy have been carefully planned to engage discussion around using language to both create and interpret texts in new and original ways.
Keynote speaker
