IndieBound and BookPage - US Independent Booksellers

17 December 2010

Great news for the run-up to publication of ‘The Mistress of Nothing’ in the US.  My book will be a featured pick for the February 2011 Indie Next list on Indie Bound: this is a national association of independent booksellers and it will lead to in-store and online promotions of the book.  As well as this, BookPage, a magazine sold through independent booksellers and public libraries, is running an excellent pre-publication review of the novel.  Two great boosts as ‘The Mistress of Nothing’ finds its way in the vast and daunting US book market.  Hooray!

Inanimate Alice:  The Evolution of Online Language Arts Resources

6 September 2010

INACOL - the International Association for K-12 Online Learning - is hosting a Teacher Talk Webinar on “The Evolution of Online Language Arts Resources”

on Thursday, September 16, 2010: 
18:00-19:00 Eastern (US)
23:00-00:00 GMT

They will use my work ‘Inanimate Alice’ as an example of the way teachers and students can extend stories outward for teaching and learning.

Digital content and technologies are transforming learning, communications, and society itself in ways that are still unfolding, but akin to the communications revolution following the invention of the printing press. While digital content and texts have made inroads into the classroom, several hurdles remain surrounding access, costs, and the training required, as well as the focus on core reading and mathematics standards, standardized testing, and budget crises.

Today’s new technologies require a broad rethinking of books and other resources for teaching and learning language arts. While many digital texts are merely an electronic image of a paper product, others have employed the electronic format in broadening the spectrum of learning. Digital storytelling or new media writing employ computers or electronic devices such as an iPhone in both writing and reading digital stories, and utilize multimedia in ways impossible in printed books.

This session examines the emerging future of digital curriculum resources for online language arts teachers and issues surrounding multimedia literacy. We will examine a digital novel utilizing text, sound, images, and gaming in storytelling, and what teachers and students have done to extend the story further into teaching and learning.

Speakers:
Bruce Friend, Director, SAS® Curriculum Pathways®, SAS Institute
John Warren, Director of Marketing, Publications, RAND Corporation
