Nicole Dreiske, Founder/Artistic Director of the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, will present the workshop "Taming TV" on Thursday, Nov. 8 at 10:00 am at the 2007 NAEYC Conference at the McCormick Place North Building, Room N427A. Attended by more than 30,000 participants, the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) Conference is the largest national event focused on early childhood education. The NAEYC Conference features more than 1,800 presenters, keynotes, seminars and discussions over five days, Nov. 8-13.
What is the best way for kids to watch TV and video? How can we teach children to "read" the media?" Dreiske will address these and other issues. Open to all NAEYC attendees, this workshop invites parents to learn three simple steps that will dramatically change the way their children watch and understand TV and video.
Conference participants are affiliated with Head Start, State Pre-K, day care centers, family day-care homes, bilingual and multicultural programs, early childhood special education, preschools, nursery schools, college and university departments of early childhood education, and kindergarten/primary programs in public and private schools.
