SUBJECT: Video Submissions for 2000 Administrators' Midwinter Conference
The Midwinter Conference wants to showcase your district!
The 2000 Administrators' Midwinter Conference is being held January 24-26, 2000 at the Austin Convention Center. On Tuesday, January 25 in conjunction with the segment of the conference entitled A Closer Look, video monitors will display highlights of the conference and TEA news and information. As a special feature this year, we would like to include video highlights of a campus in your district or of the district itself. We are currently seeking submissions for this part of the conference.
Videos should be produced as an infomercial promoting a campus or district. Suggested themes include: "In and Around Our School" … "A Day in the Life of a School District" … "Technology in School" … "School Heroes" … "Teachers Make Learning Fun." Any variation of these themes or other educational topics promoting a campus or district will be accepted.
The videotapes must be submitted on an S-VHS or 3/4" format. Program length should be five to seven minutes, and you should include a short written description of the program submitted. Talent and copy releases need to be available upon request. The deadline for submissions is December 15, 1999. Please note that videotapes will not be returned.
The mailing address for videos is:
