"What if...?" Video Submissions Needed for 2015 CISC Symposium (Due 1/21/15)

Date: 12/01/2014
Author: Stacie

As discussed at our recent planning committee meeting, we are creating a "What if...?" video to use at the opening general session of the Symposium. The plan is to have people complete the sentence starter "What if...?" using three additional words to express their hopes and dreams for the future of education. The three words should be written on something and either videotaped or photographed. This is a slight variation on Good Morning America's "Your 3 Words" segments, so here's a link to give you an idea of what we're planning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txCDcE6Y6Es

We would like to include videos and photos from people all across the State (and we're especially interested in having students participate). You may want to include backgrounds of places your region is known for (the ocean, Golden Gate bridge, vineyards, etc) - but this is not required. We will need the videos and photos submitted no later than Wednesday, January 21st. To submit a short video clip or photo to be included in the compilation video, please do the following:

1. Film or photograph the person's three words (videos must be in mp4 format)
2. You will need to collect a signed photo/video release from anyone appearing in your photo or video. You can use your county's form, and you will keep this documentation.
3. Send an email to Stacie Post-Sheffer (spost@scoe.org) with the subject line What if...? Video - Region ___ (<-- include your region's #) with the attachment of either a photo or an mp4 video. IMPORTANT: To indicate that you collected the photo/video release for your submission, include the following sentence in the body of your email: "A signed video/photo release form has been collected from all persons appearing in the attached video/photo." Submission emails that don't include this sentence will be returned to the sender for correction.
