Coming This Fall!
Multimedia Teachers: Your students will have the opportunity to enter their 2-minute videos in a TeachMultimedia.com Video Contest where all of our TM Teachers Network (9,000) and multimedia manufactures can view their presentations! The teachers, manufacturers and TM will judge the videos.
Evaluations and judging will be conducted by TM staff, teachers network (9,000) and the multimedia manufactures. Video equipment manufacturers and software providers will offer prizes that every classroom would love to have in their video/multimedia lab.
