Summer Journalism Workshop - Class DescriptionDigital Media Boot Camp for StudentsThese days, tweets don't come from birds. A WordPress uses no paper. Streams have no water, feeds don't involve food and slideshows don't contain any slides at all. In the brave new world of Convergence Journalism, technology can be as hard to understand and implement as the terminology.Not anymore. CSPA is proud to announce it's first-ever scholastic media convergence workshop. For five days you'll learn what a converged story is, and how to deliver it over every modern medium using words, photos, audio and video. We'll show you how to get your publication online, easily and inexpensively...without knowing a shred of HTML, PHP, ASP or any other confusing acronym. Get ready to wade into streams, fire up a WordPress, and gorge yourself on feeds. It's so easy, you'll be sitting outside, enjoying the sunshine and the tweets in no time. Required: - Wi-Fi-enabled laptop w/basic video and photo editing software OR an iPad/iPad 2 - Digital Still and Video Cameras (or a smartphone with built-in video and still cameras, i.e. iPhone 4/Android) - Card reader - USB jump drive |
