Use new Forum on Iceland
Started a new Forum on the Conference and FELA / IDEC meetings in Iceland, next June.
Please use this Forum to discuss things beforehand.
Meeting RAIN – Stichting Lezen en Schrijven
As a result of the meeting with princess Laurentien on Saturday 21st in Vienna, I have been invited to the New Years Meeting for partners and friends of the Stichting Lezen en Schrijven
And, even more important, I have made an appointment to discuss the ways RAIN and the Stichting could collaborate and so improve literacy.
Contemporary literacy
As a comment to the excellent talk of Gunther Kress this afternoon, I will draw your attention to a new study at the university of Stavanger:
Literacy studies – master
Is the book an endangered species? Are sms-messages destroying the English language? What were medieval books like? How do children learn to read and write? Who was Shakespeare and does it matter? What does reading do to our minds? http://www.uis.no/studietilbud/spraak_og_litteratur/master/literacy_studies/
And another study at the National centre for reading educaton and reserearch (Lesesenteret): Digital reading
How can one teach students who hide behind their PCs and switch between Word, Facebook, Wikipedia and Twitter? An ordinary day for teachers has been completely transformed during the last five to ten years. Reading research at the University of Stavanger has examined the complete transformation of the classroom which has taken place over the last 5-10 years. http://lesesenteret.uis.no/frontpage/news/article26458-3357.html

Use the new Forum
Just added a Forum to the IDEC website ( see right and bottum).
First topic is Comments on the new website. We’ll add new topics soon.
Please use the forum to discuss IDEC matters.
Welcome to the new IDEC website
Welcome to the new IDEC-website, version 2012 !
On this site you can find general information concerning the activities of the International Development in Europe Committee (IDEC) of the International Reading Association.
Since 1979 the IDEC has brought together representatives of the national reading associations in Europe. These National Associations have become or are in the process of becoming affiliated to the International Reading Association. At this moment we have over 30 members in IDEC.
The new site is much more interactive. We have changed the website from a Joomla 1.0 website into a WordPress 2.0 website.
You will find pages with general information, but also running posts, which will keep you up to date on news from IDEC. We have a Forum we can use to discuss things and you can add your comments to most of the pages and posts. Please be active and tell us what you like and what you would like us to add or change.
This website is under construction and shall be evaluated on the IDEC meeting in Vienna Januari 31 2012.
