The College Educator Seminar Series

Catch Up, Power Up, Re-Ignite Your Passion for teaching

2013 Teachapalooza Schedule and Speakers

Teachapalooza III is the place to catch up, power up and re-ignite your passion for teaching. Join us from June 21-23 at the Poynter campus in St. Petersburg, Fla., for three fast-paced days of relevant, cut-to-the-chase learning for journalism educators.

You’ll learn the latest technology and trends that shape journalism, and how you can help your students be prepared for the job market they will face when they graduate. You’ll learn the new ways you can put social media, mobile phone and mapping tools to work in your classroom. Even more, you’ll join a lasting community of journalism educators who share your passion for shaping the next generation of journalists.

WHAT WILL I LEARN:

• What skills your students have to have when they graduate
• The best tools for social media, multimedia, graphics, mobile reporting, tablet storytelling and more
• The classroom technology that will help you be a better teacher—including social media, mobile phones, live chats and mapping tools
• The latest courses, tools and resources from Poynter’s NewsU that you can integrate into your curriculum
