Michigan Association for Media in Education
- Social Media
MAME has a Twitter account and the few tweets that I scrolled through look like they are talking about their conference and there are videos of workshops. They also have a Facebook group that people can join. I see people posting questions on the wall that are answered by other members which tells me that this group is beneficial.
- Membership
The regular membership for MAME is $50 and that includes: online community resources and information, a monthly newsletter, an annual conference, a spring seminar and summer institute, and support. There are also a lot of professional journals and readings that are included in the membership.
- Conference
The annual conference that will be held at the Double Tree Hotel in Bay City on November 11th through the 13th will be the 42nd conference they have presented. By the looks of it you would need to be a member to attend the conference.
National Council for the Social Studies
- Social Media
NCSS has a Twitter account and most of the posts look to be webinars or video applications of social studies in the classroom. They also have a Facebook group with the same type of postings.
- Membership
A one year comprehensive membership is $82 and that includes: a professional newsletter, conference discounts, access to online publications that provide an in-depth analysis of social studies.
- Conference
The 95th annual NCSS conference will be held at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center on November 13th through the 15th.
