NAMLE President
Greetings friends,Read and discard. Read and discard. That's the way we handle most of our email. But this month, I encourage you to do more with this e-newsletter:
1) Share! Make it viral.
Forward this email to someone else interested in media literacy, but not yet part of our online community.
2) Submit! Make this the year that you turn your ideas and creativity into a proposal submission for our conference. The Call for Proposals is available now.
3) Join! Make this the month you become an official NAMLE member. Special incentive? A 10% discount on Douglas Rushkoff's latest book
That's it-- three actions: Share, Submit, Join. Cheers,
Sherri Hope Culver
