AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY

I have just recently discovered a teacher retreat that will be a terrific compliment to my research question activities.  I am in the process of applying and fingers crossed, I will be awarded one of 12 FULLY FUNDED slots.  It takes place in August at Otis College of Art and Design and focuses on 5 days (free room, board and classes) of learning about using media arts.  Participants will learn pre-production, production and post production skills including editing--one of my most feared technological areas.

"This five-day intensive retreat is designed to reinvigorate educators teaching practices while expanding their art and design skill-set through a series of workshops, presentations and field trips. With a cadre of instructors who are experts in their field and access to state of the art facilities, participants will develop and produce a documentary/narrative short video throughout the week."

Unbelievable.  A perfect fit!

Am actually enjoying writing the proposal.  Each student has to give a 20 minute presentation during the 5 days and part of our application must include the title of our presentation.

My title:  Using 21^st Century Multimedia Technology to More Fully Engage Students in the Exploration and Production of Live Theatre

Stay tuned for the outcome..........
