Professional Development Sessions
Opening Session
Six months from now television, as we have known it, changes fundamentally. Learn

deliver a media rich array of services for education and learning.
KET, recognized as a leader in education, is creating a comprehensive response to

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

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.
