Video Contest for CSLA Members

CSLA is excited to announce a new members-only video contest. Members are invited to submit an instructional video that addresses competencies within the California Model School Library Standards. Finalists from the contest will be asked to present their videos, and share how they created their work at the CSLA State Conference in San Diego on Feb 6, 2016 during a session from 7:30-9:15 a.m. Presenters will receive a coupon code for full conference registration or conference registration reimbursement. A reimbursement form will be sent to finalists who have already registered for conference. We hope that you will join us in creating a video for your school community and our contest. Good luck and enjoy the process!

A video might explain how to:
  • develop a search strategy,
  • locate a magazine article from a database,
  • evaluate websites,
  • use the library online catalog,
  • create formulas on a spreadsheet,
  • make animated flashcards,
  • produce a podcast,
  • practice netiquette,
  • develop a design process,
  • or another competency.
We also invite you to consider a video that incorporates the theme of school libraries as Doorways to Diversity, but you don't need to be limited to the conference theme.

All submissions should be sent to https://dropitto.me/videocontest
