Students are gaining ample academic skills through today's technology, especially writing. Here's some information on a great contest where students can utilize technology for their school. Contest information to follow: Project New School is inviting high school students to create and share a mini-documentary, between 30 seconds and three minutes in length, about their high school. Get your readers involved! Students compete to win one of two MacBook Pros and nine Flip UltraHD video cameras. As an added bonus, we are giving the first 400 students who submit a video a spiffy “Filmmaker” t-shirt. Students – need ideas? What makes your school unique? What would surprise people? What do you want the world to know about your school? Just make it about something you’re passionate about – the more creative, the better. Just make it upload it and share it. All video submissions must be received by Oct 29, 2009. Project New School’s Online Video Contest is cool way for High School students to put individual expression into their school as the academic year kicks off. Project New School is an exciting new interactive venue on Facebook for high school students to share their thoughts and views about the future of education. It’s a place for students to share, learn and be heard. We’re sponsored by KaplanOnlineSchools.com, a pioneer in personalized online education. We’d also love a reply from you. Let us know what you think about Project New School. Visit WEBSITE for more information. Help us help students spread their story. Every high school student has a story to tell. Project New School wants to hear your readers’ stories. I agree with the Wired article and this post. Students are gaining ample academic skills through today’s technology, especially writing.
