The IB of Americas Annual Regional Conference in San Antonio was excellent all around. I had the opportunity to give a talk on media literacy in the IB Diploma Programme. Teachers have a lot of questions on how to teach new text types such as graphic novels, blogs and tweets. We did a hands on activity with tweets and biographies, and teachers came away with a sense of confidence. These texts are not so complicated to understand and analyze. If you missed me in San Antonio I’ll be giving the same seminar in The Hague on 28-29 October and at the CLIL day in Ede (The Netherlands) on 1 November. Look forward to seeing y’all!
