Teens are encouraged to pursue higher education and to develop their talents for creative & professional outcomes. 10:00 - 12:00 Digital Literacy with Project Look Sharp Project Look Sharp is a media literacy initiative of Ithaca College that develops and provides lesson plans, media materials, training, and support for the effective integration of media literacy with critical thinking into classroom curricula at all education levels, including integration with the new common core standards. Project Look Sharp Founder and Executive Director, Cindy Schiebe, will join us to introduce the theory and practice of media/digital literacy integration throughout the curriculum, emphasizing the development of critical thinking and analysis skills. 12:45 - 2:00 Breakout Sessions - pick one • Digital Audio: Maximize Your Existing Equipment When it comes to audio recording, the quality of the microphone being used makes a huge difference. Trying to work with massive mixer boards and the confusion of inputs and outputs makes using the existing microphones in your district a challenge. In this session, learn how you can use the Blue Icicle to easily connect any standard microphone directly to a computer via USB. Go hands on with the tool to learn how it works, and then take it back to school to create your next student audio project. • Graphic Tablets: Drawing Digitally Come explore the many options for capturing student drawing digitally. This session will look at different stylus options for drawing on an iPad or Android tablet as well as standalone graphics tablets to connect to computers. Go hands on with an Adesso pen tablet to learn how it can be used to draw directly into graphics software like Photoshop or GIMP (open source and free) and then take it back to your school to get students drawing digitally. • All-in-One Video: Stop Motion Made Easy Stop motion video is a fun and exciting way to explore movie making, but capturing all of the still frames and then stitching them together can be a hassle. With a high quality tripod mount, you can easily capture, edit, and produce a stop motion video directly on an iPad or Android tablet. Use the Glide Gear adjustable tablet mount (fits iPad and iPad Mini sized tablets) in this session and then take it back to your school and get students creating.
