March 19th was the Liberty County Student Media Festival. A total of 187 student projects were submitted to the county festival. (All projects must have earned a superior ranking of 96-100 at a school-level media festival prior to advancing to the county level.) Button Gwinnett Elementary, First Presbyterian Christian Academy, Frank Long Elementary, Jordye Bacon Elementary, Joseph Martin Elementary, Lewis Frasier Middle School, Liberty Elementary, Taylors Creek Elementary, and Waldo Pafford Elementary all submitted projects to the festival.
Volunteer judges worked in groups of three to score projects using rubrics provided by the Georgia Student Media Festival. The festival was sponsored by Tech4Learning Software. Five lucky judges won free software provided by Tech4Learning in a lunchtime raffle.
Students that created an individual project entry that earned a superior score at the county level of the festival won their choice of one of the Tech4learning software titles to install at home!
Now the superior projects from the Liberty County Student Media Festival will advance to the state level of the competition. An outstanding total of 112 projects are advancing! The Georgia Student Media Festival will be April 30th in Jonesboro.
The media festival is a wonderful opportunity for students to work individually, in groups, or as a class to create a computer-based project. A special thank you goes out to all the teachers, media specialists, instructional technology specialists, curriculum coordinators, and other support staff that assisted, guided, and judged.
Once the results are in from the Georgia Student Media Festival, all students that earned a superior score at the state level will be invited to walk the red carpet! A special Hollywood style evening of awards and veiwings of the superior student projects will be held at the newly acquired fine arts complex.
