Conference is now open. The event will be hosted by the SUNY Empire State 
College?s Center for Distance Learning on March 15:

Sponsored by the college, the SUNY Librarians Association and the SUNYLA 
Working Group on Information Literacy, the goals of the 3Ts conferences 
are to prepare participants with new ways to engage their students, enrich 
their classes and broaden their perspective about 21st-century teaching 
and learning. This is an interactive conference that examines emerging 
literacy frameworks to address today's Web 2.0 and social media 
environments.

This year's conference will continue to explore the intersection of 
technology and transliteracy, but the scope of this year?s event is 
expanded to include K-12 educators to create a dialogue with faculty, 
librarians and instructional designers about 21st-century literacies.

Sue Thomas, an international scholar and author and research professor of 
new media in the Institute of Creative Technologies, Faculty of Art, 
Design and Humanities at De Montfort University, Leicester, United 
Kingdom, is this year?s keynote speaker.

Thomas will lead conversations about the theory and practice of emerging 
literacies, innovative technologies throughout a learner?s educational 
experience and the growing number of literacies all students need to 
succeed in today's complex, information-rich academic and professional 
worlds.

University, SUNY Geneseo, the University of Manitoba, Buffalo State 
College, the State University of New York at Albany, California State 
University Channel Islands, St. Jerome's University and Empire State 
College.

Sessions will include:

creating virtual pathways for civic discussion 
using cloud conferencing to create opportunities for collaborative writing 

discussing the SUNY Statewide Teacher and School Leader Education Network 
understanding the role of transliteracy in the classroom 
teaching digital fluency through immersive technologies.
