San Francisco, January 15, 2003 -- KQED Educational Network (EdNet) and the National Teacher Training Institute will present a one-day intensive conference for educators of all grades at the University of California Berkeley's Dwinelle Hall on January 25, 2003. Through a series of exciting, collaborative and hands-on workshops, conference participants will learn a variety of strategies for incorporating video and the Internet into their instruction.

Topics that will be addressed at the conference include media literacy, integrating digital technologies in the classroom, global and cultural diversity, best practices in teaching and special education.

Sue Ellen McCann, senior executive producer at KQED, will deliver the keynote address. McCann is the KQED executive-in-charge of one of PBS' newest series, FRONTLINE/World, a magazine program on the global community, introducing viewers to countries and cultures rarely covered by the U.S. media.
