Call For Entries: Thirteen/
WNET & JPMorgan Chase
Awards Open To Tri-State Students

Tri-state area teachers have until January 31 to enter pioneering student video, Web or multimedia projects in the JPMorgan Chase “Multimedia in the Classroom” Awards, presented by Thirteen/WNET and WLIW New York as part of their first Celebration of Teaching and Learning professional development conference, March 24 and 25 in NYC.

“We’re looking for projects that take what students have learned in the classroom to another level,” said Ronald Thorpe, vice president and director of education for Thirteen and WLIW.  “These projects can explore anything in the curriculum and involve students at any grade from kindergarten through 12.  There are teachers and students out there who are transforming learning environments through video and other technologies, and with the help of JPMorgan Chase, we intend to celebrate their achievement.”

Each of the top 10 winning project teams will receive a cash prize of $1,000 donated by JPMorgan Chase; full access to the Celebration of Teaching and Learning professional development conference; and VIP seating at special events at the conference.

Video, Web or multimedia projects by kindergarten through 12th-grade students from New York, New Jersey or Connecticut can be entered by their teachers.  Projects must be teacher-mentored, student-executed, and exemplify skillful use of media and technology to improve learning in a curriculum area.

Details on entering the competition are available online at the Celebration of Teaching and Learning homepage: www.thirteencelebration.org.  Entries must be postmarked by January 31.

Winners will be announced on March 6 and the prizes will be presented on March 24 at the opening of the conference.  For further information, e-mail jpmorganchaseaward@thirteen.org.
