| We are pleased to announce
that, due to the success of the HyperStudio Festival held
the last few years, that this year a Multimedia Festival will
held to celebrate the efforts of our students' multimedia
authoring.
Multimedia Festival?
What's the difference? Well this year we are also inviting
students/teachers to submit KidPix and iMovie projects as
well as the very successful HyperStudio projects.
So when should
you start?
You can start as soon as it works into your schedule. Some
schools have already been creating projects in Hyperstudio
and KidPix. If you haven't, there is no time better than the
present. The Festival will conclude in time to celebrate the
projects for Education Week, therefore your submission deadline
is April 30th, 2004.
What can you do?
The purpose is to celebrate how multimedia authoring fits
into the curriculum. Any project with ties to the Ontario
Curriculum is welcome. Hyperstudio, KidPix and iMovie lends
itself nicely to Language, Social Studies and Science, but
it can be used in all kinds of situations. Turn your students
free to be creative.
How Many entries
can be submitted?
HyperStudio:
There is a limit of 6 entries per school.
KidPix:
There is a limit of 6 entries per school.
iMovie:
