Dear Teachers,

I am emailing to let you know that MHz NETWORKS, in conjunction with Metz Middle School in Manassas, will be offering a 2-day workshop for teachers on integrating filmmaking into the classroom.  This past school year, Metz and MHz worked together to produce 4 math curriculum films that were conceived, written, filmed, and edited by students in the 7-8 grades with teacher supervision.  This intensive workshop will take teachers through that entire process – from scripting to shooting and editing – so that teachers may in turn execute these techniques in their own classrooms.

WORKSHOP INFORMATION:

Date: August 21 & 22

Place: Metz Middle School   9950 Wellington Rd.   Manassas, VA 20110

Time: 10am – 3pm each day

Cost:  $20  -   to cover the costs of  the instructional/curriculum booklets and DVDs that each participant will receive.  The cost of the actual workshop is free to teachers in the Northern VA area.   

Certification: Certificates will be given at the end of the workshop stating the number of hours participating – can be used towards recertification points.

Lunch: Each day, participants will need to bring their own sack lunch.

Equipment & Materials: All equipment and materials will be provided.  Registrants will only need to bring materials to take notes as desired.

If you interested in learning how to incorporate these techniques in a classroom of your own please let me know ASAP.  SPACE IS VERY LIMITED.  There are only a few more seats available and we will need a definite commitment to attend so as not to have any empty seats come time for the workshop.  If you need more information, please feel free to contact me with questions. If you would like to sign up, please send your name, email, school & district information, and phone number.  It will be first come first served.  Thanks.
