How frequently does the letter "o" appear in:
This weekend is an exciting weekend in Athens, GA. It’s the annual GA Children’s Literature Conference. This conference always offers an amazing lineup of authors who share their craft with educators as well as spend lots of time autographing books.
I’m excited that the conference is really thinking about how to bring student voice to the attendees. Giving students this authentic space to share their voice is not only empowering, it also centers all attendees (including the authors) on why we all do this work.
My students along with Anne McLeod’s students at Burney Harris Lyons Middle School collaborated on a video that we called “Voices of Reading”. This video was played at the opening of the conference.
It’s fun to see colleagues already talking about the video at the conference.
We also worked together on a Flipgrid sharing our favorite books. Many voices came together for this Flipgrid, and these voices will be played on a screen on the exhibit floor.

I hope that this conference continues to find ways to empower student voices. This is definitely a step in the right direction.
I will be presenting at the Georgia Conference on Children’s Literature on Friday March 23, 2012 at 10:15AM in room T/U. The conference is held at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education at UGA. Here is a link to my presentation wiki.
