2012 NSW ALNC Conference 10 December, 2012

Reading the digital word, to read the digital world?

2012 NSW Adult Literacy and Numeracy Council  (NSWALNC) Conference 10 December, 2012

The theme of the 2012 NSWALNC conference is: Reading the digital word, to read the digital world. The conference will work with a ‘twist’ of Paulo Freire’s idea of literacy – that we read the word in order to read the world we live in.  Conference participants will consider what this means in our contemporary context, as forms of reading have expanded dramatically with the introduction of new media and technologies. What has changed about literacy, what hasn’t? What does this mean for literacy teaching? (And of course,what does this mean for numeracy?)

The conference will feature keynote addresses by Professor Robyn Jorgensen on numeracy, and Helen De Silva Joyce on visual literacy.
