My colleague, Wendy McKenzie, came up with an idea yesterday that made me instantly excited, then a little bit anxious about how much work it will take to do it right, but I knew right away that this is something we HAVE to pull off.
The idea is for the Academic Integration Coaches to put on an event, similar to the Vocab Bowl the 11th grade English teachers run at the high school every year, for the best student-made videos. It would be like the Academy Awards for the best videos our district's students have made for class projects throughout the school year.
My mind immediately went to the event itself - I pictured the auditorium with low lighting, students dressed nicely, a logo on the giant screen interupted by clips of the nominated videos, orchestra music (probably pre-recorded) that would signal the end of acceptance speeches, envelopes... the whole production.
We have tons of talented students in our district that would certainly work hard to pull this off.
But the toughest tasks to do right would be the first steps in the process:
- How do we collect all the best student videos?
- Who comprises the "Academy"? Who votes?
- What website could host all the videos so that academy of students and faculty could vote?
- It would have to be a seecure and private site in order to post the videos of students.
- Could the voting be done multiple times by anyone who logs in, or can we set up a survey or poll that only allows one vote per user?
- (This is the fun one, in my opinion) -- What categories should have nominees?
Please post a reply below and help us answer these questions. What are your ideas and thoughts for bringing an idea for an event like this to fruition?
Thank you!
