Multimedia Mania is an international awards program that identifies
exciting models of effective classroom use of technology. Teacher and
student winners of this year's awards were provided free software and
travel expenses to the National Educational Computing Conference
(NECC) in Chicago, IL. The awards were made by HyperSIG - multimedia
special interest group of the International Society of Technology in
Education (ISTE) - and the following sponsors: SAS inSchool, North
Carolina State University, Macromedia, and Knowledge Adventure.
Winners will receive plaques from ISTE and share their projects in
a session about how multimedia can be used to teach any standard
curriculum. Selected from a competitive international field, winners
include teams sponsored by:
- Linda Reynolds, Landau Elementary School, Cathedral City, CA
- Steve Holmlund, Rachel Carson Middle School, Herndon, VA
- Brenda Frisk, Jasper Place High School, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Winning projects will be available on a free CD-ROM. Each project
is aligned to a standard curriculum and offers ideas for using
technology in a variety of subjects and grade levels. More information
about the winning projects and finalists can be viewed in MidLink
Magazine: http://www.ncsu.edu/midlink/
Winners were selected on the basis of instructional design,
alignment to the standard curriculum, originality, content, subject
knowledge, graphical/screen design, mechanics, and video or 3-D
enhancements. The international panel evaluated projects using a
rubric that placed a strong emphasis on the creative use of multimedia
to address curriculum standards.
