What do you do when your learners' work is too amazing to keep locked away on your classroom computers? You host a film festival, of course. This was my sixth year to host a district-wide video competition for middle school multimedia learners. It is always an exciting time for us, as we share our video challenge finalist with other schools in the district and a panel of guest and celebrity judges.
Without further ado, congratulations to our first place winners:
Music Video: North (Video 3) Marina Serdyuk's "Come Back to Me" by Tyler W.
Public Service Announcement: North (Video 1) "Teen Stress"
Silent Film West (Video 2) "Getting Closer" by Ernest L., Sameer I., and Aaron B.
Short Film West (Video 1) "A Different Corner" by Natalie A.
Stop Motion Animation West (Video 3) "Monster Under the Bed" by Carly D.
Enjoy all of the finalist videos below:
Thank you so much to everyone who participated and made this event possible. Yes, competition is fun, but we get so much more out of this event than just fun. Thanks to all of you, we get to experience
- Professional feedback
- An authentic audience
- Increased learner engagement
- Evaluation and reflection of course lesson design
- Opportunity to share our work and tell stories outside the walls of our classroom
- Recognition of our work and unique program from others outside of our own schools
To see even more great submissions that didn't make it to the finals, keep an eye out for a blog post later in the month.
