Teachers writing for an authentic audience

I wrote an entry about students writing for an authentic audience, teachers can also present the wonderful work they do for authentic audiences.

My board encourages such endeavors through their sponsored conferences. They are usually advertised through MyLearningPlan. Teachers can either attend such conferences or present at such conferences.

Other conferences are organized by various groups. Teachers can either attend or present at such conferences. Here is a short list.

The unconferences. Various cities around the world organizes unconferences, free of charge where each participant come with an idea to discuss with the group. The conference is participant driven. Each participant can leave with several more ideas they brought with them. It is also possible to follow unconferences online with their #hashtags
