  • Kids, Television, and the News
    Ellerbee talks about her journey to producing children's television – how she created Nick News, her long-running series on Nickelodeon and "what I've learned about children, television and the real world." This speech may be tailored for education groups. Ellerbee talks about how teachers can use television as a teaching tool and turn television from the enemy into the teacher's friend.

  • Surviving Breast Cancer to Laugh Another Day
    Ellerbee describes her experience with breast cancer – from the heartfelt yet amusing reactions of friends and colleagues, to the determination and spirit that makes her a 18+-year survivor.
  • Adventures in Journalism
    From newspapers to networks, she's gone from covering fires and parades to presidential debates and international terrorism, and collected some of the most prestigious awards along the way. Ellerbee talks about her experience as a veteran journalist.
  • How To Raise Media-Savvy Kids
    In the future, our kids will either learn to use the media that surround them as tools, or they will be tools of that media. Television. The Internet? iPhones? What's next. And what is media literacy today, and how do we teach it? Ellerbee offers insight and perspective gained from speaking with (and listening to) kids for nearly 20 years on the critically-acclaimed children's television series, Nick News…and from raising two media-savvy kids of her own.
