Professional Development Sessions


Opening Session
Six months from now television, as we have known it, changes fundamentally. Learn how one state licensee is taking full advantage of digital bandwidth to create and deliver a media rich array of services for education and learning.

KET, recognized as a leader in education, is creating a comprehensive response to the opportunities afforded by conversion to digital creation, storage and delivery.

Presented by
Mac Wall, Executive Director, Kentucky Educational Television.


A Vision for the Class of 2020
Kids who entered Kindergarten this year will graduate in 2020 and their sights for learning are vastly different. Learn how your organization can cast off its dusty bifocals and help education leaders explore the “new” technologies of today from experts who can teach 1,000 educators a month and still make it home in time for dinner. Join this action-packed session where learners are also teachers, anyone can publish, cell phones are our friends, and engaging media is essential. See you there.

Presented by
Laura Hunter, Director of Instructional Services for Utah Education Network and Station Manager for KUEN-TV, Jared Covili, Utah Education Network and Tim Stack, Utah Education Network.


Media Literacy 101: Critical Thinking in the 21st Century
Many would agree that today’s young people are media savvy—they know how to use mobile phones, download music; upload video/photos to social networking web pages—but, they are not necessarily media literate. Many believe everything they see, read and hear.

Media literacy in the 21st century means different things to different people.

Join national media education consultant Frank Baker as he explains what media literacy is; explores what it means in the nation’s K-12 schools; and what it means to you, the media producer.

Presented by
Frank Baker, Media Education Consultant, SC Writing Improvement Network; ETVRadio of SC.


Movie Magic: Understanding the special effects of copyright
Using motion pictures, movies, films, video, or whatever we call such works today —YouTube—raises copyright issues. The more traditional concerns result from “performance rights” and the possible “public” performance of these works. More complex questions arise under what are increasingly digital uses and “performances.” This session will focus briefly on the exclusive rights of copyright, including performances rights, and concentrate on exceptions to them, such as fair use, face-to-face teaching, and online performances under the TEACH Act.

Presented by
Carrie Russell, Copyright Specialist, ALA Washington Office Office for Information Technology Policy, and Dwayne K. Buttler, J.D. Professor, University of Louisville, KY.


It’s Not Your Father’s Oldsmobile—Media Delivery for the 21st Century
You are a media librarian, a teacher, or a technology specialist. You went to college and are a professional—you are a respectable citizen on the instructional media highway. Life is good. Then, in addition to the familiar video evaluation, purchasing, and licensing, words like digital, encoding, segmenting, ingestion creep in—potholes, bumps, and road hazards in your previously smoothly-paved road. You are ready for some major roadwork! What economic models are available for media-on-demand? Join members from a California consortium as they share the story of their “road trip” journey. Their alternative solution has them licensing the best media from a variety of national distributors and has them cruising along, more sustainable than ever.

Presented by
Julie Drake, Director of Multimedia Services, Los Angeles County Office of Education.
