Sherri Hope Culver
NAMLE President
If you haven't checked out our new website I invite you to click to it right now! If you've done a website revamp, you know how much time and energy it takes. For NAMLE, most of that time and energy was given pro bono by members of your Board. (Special thanks to Rhys Daunic.) Hours and hours of rewriting, graphic design, navigation remedies, additional resources, and new links make the site one that not only looks better but will hopefully become an indispensable resource to you for media literacy education information. We welcome your feedback and ideas.
You may already know that we have a major conference planned for next summer, but what else is NAMLE up to? For up-to-date information read The Board Room. It's a quick read and monthly review of recent board actions and newly planned initiatives.
Whether this is a "back to..." time for you, or the last days of summer, I hope it's filled with adventure and success.

Digital Natives Not Web Savvy A new study in the International Journal of Communication reports college students have a decided lack of Web savvy, especially when it comes to search engines and the ability to determine the credibility of search results. Students favor search engine rankings above all other factors. They pay attention to the top search results rather than source legitimacy.
