We are seeking proposals for the 3Ts 2013: Transliteracy from Cradle to 
Careerconference hosted at SUNY Empire State College in Saratoga Springs, 
New York.  As this year?s title suggests, we have expanded the scope of 
the conference to include K-12 educators to create a dialogue with 
faculty, librarians, and instructional designers about 21stcentury 
literacies.  Join us for a day of exhilarating conversations about the 
theory and practice of emerging literacies and innovative technologies 
throughout a learner?s educational experience.
Keynote Speaker:  Sue Thomas

Conference Proposals should address one or more of the following 
questions:

·       What are the 21st century literacies that learners need from K-12 
to higher education?
·       How do we transition transliterate learners from cradle to career?
·       Will transliteracy bridge literacy education from cradle to 
career?
·       How do we engage K-12 teachers and college educators in 
transliteracy conversations and collaborations? 
·       How does technology inform and support our transliteracy teaching 
practices?
·       In a world of new literacies, how do we integrate transliteracy, 
metaliteracy, and/or media and information literacy in our teaching? 

As proposals are peer reviewed, focus on one of more of the following 
themes is highly encouraged:

your proposal, presentation, and delivery

(collaborative efforts, internships, etc)

Pipeline, SUNY Remediation Taskforce, and other state wide initiatives 
·       Pathways initiatives between high schools and community colleges
