Alice in Apps Land: Stories Through the Digital Looking Glass

22nd Mar 2012, 17:30 - 20:30

Tickets: £5.00/ £3.50 Seven Stories, Ouseburn valley, Newcastle

From picture books to graphic novels to e-books and i-pads, words and pictures are on the move. Where are they taking us? What kind of readers are they begetting? Beguiled by new media, are we in danger of amusing ourselves to death or are ebooks and apps powerful new allies of story and the written word?   Join a distinguished American panel - educators Shelby Anne Wolf, Shirley Brice Heath, and Karen Coats  and children’s book historian and critic  Leonard Marcus - for a  unique Transatlantic conversation about what is happening today to story, books and reading in and outside the classroom.
