I will definitely be there Monday, November 2. Congrats to the good folks at ManACE people and your amazing crew at MECY for putting this together.

Hi Cheryl,
This looks like a fantastic event! We are spreading the word about it through the Media Literacy Week website and Facebook and Twitter. It is wonderful to see how forward thinking Manitoba is in its approach to digital literacy. You have established a gold standard with the ICT Across the Curriculum direction and we like to use it as an example of what other provinces and territories should be doing. Good luck with your events. .
