Thank you for another fantastic day for the Festival of Literacies on November 24, 2017. We had a great turnout and more importantly, we didn't run out of food this time!
In addition to the live audience at the Peace Lounge, we were also streaming live on YouTube to those who couldn't make it in person. It couldn't have worked out better. We have included the YouTube video link here. The video is long so you may want to move to the specific time marker that you would like to watch: // Intro -- 0:05:56 - 0:09:30 // Christine's presentation -- 0:09:30 - 1:35:00 // Audrey's presentation -- 1:54:20 - 2:21:30 // Discussion -- 2:21:30 - 3:02:15 You can also watch it on the YouTube website, the time markers are listed in the description section (click on Show More). Clicking on the time marker on YouTube.com will take you directly to the specific part. While you're there, subscribe to our YouTube channel too. We're also working on summarizing the presentations to post here later on. Once the summaries are ready, we'll let you know by email. We would also like to hear from you. Please give us your feedback and input through http://bit.ly/FOLiteracies. Thank you! See you in Spring 2018.
