As I used google search engine, there were a lot of sites that came up when I typed in NML. This particular site was interesting because it had information written and video. As we have learned videos are attractive and easy to on the eyes. This was the first site I reviewed to get information about New Media Literacies.
"The NMC’s New Media Literacy & Learning Initiative is a multi-year effort to explore and expand the potential of new developments in visual and digital literacy, and the umbrella for a range of research, publications, conferences, and related activities."http://archive.nmc.org/projects/literacy/index.shtml
I would recommend exploring this site because there is a lot of information that is useful. Especially the link about "the conference."
"The Online Conference on Visual Literacy explored the ways emerging ideas, constructs, tools, and theories are fueling new interest in visual communication. The program included sessions within the following tracks:
• Exploring the Visual/Digital Literacy Landscape
• Successful Projects & Real-Life Examples
• Visual/Digital Literacy Trends and Issues."
I would love to sit in and watch how technology is used. Here is another affordable resource.
Although the site I am about to list has more information about job opportunities, it still is a great site to explore because it shows the NML educators are needed and it isn't just about knowing what NML, it is about implementing this in the entire school system. Before finding this site, I had no idea that jobs like this are available. I thought it was only about acquiring the knowledge to be a successful NML educator.
"Project Manager:Project NML seeks a detail-oriented, highly organized, and people-person Project Manager to handle the administration of NML's The Educator's House. This international project joins the NML team with Rio de Janiero's Department of Education to implement a new paradigm for teaching that fully integrates the new media literacies across curricula.

NML is so much bigger than we could ever know.
