SchoolTube will be attending the International Student Media Festival (ISMF) in Anaheim, California.

This year’s festival will be held at the Hyatt Regency Orange County October 25 – 27, 2007, and will feature winning entries in a variety of media categories, shown in a film-festival format.

The festival begins Thursday night with an inspiring keynote from Marco Torres, an Apple Distinguished Educator, who is well-known for his work at San Fernando High School. As a social studies teacher and technology director, he empowers students to explore their world through the creation of media projects.

On Friday, throughout the day, workshops will be offered for students of all ages and their adult sponsors to teach a variety of media production skills, using state-of-the art equipment and software provided by the festival's sponsors. The 2007 workshops include Chromakey Broadcasting with Adobe Visual Communicator, Digital Storytelling with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements, a Photo Safari with Olympus Digital Cameras, Apple Computer’s iMovie and Garage Band utilizing M-Audio keyboard technology, and PowerPoint. After dinner the winning projects are shown in a theatre-style setting, complete with popcorn and soda.

Saturday morning, winners will attend an awards ceremony where students are recognized for their achievements. In addition to the trophies and certificates given to the ISMF winners, many prizes such as Adobe software, t-shirts, and posters will be given away.

If you are attending the ISMF make sure to say hi to SchoolTube while you there, and remember to upload any videos you have from the event.
