With about 27,000 high schools in America, there is a vast potential audience for students and educators to tap the power and potential of using video, video production, and "student TV" as part of a new "literacy," needed in citizenship and the workforce.
Here at Southold HS on Long Island, in New York, our student broadcast (SOHO TV) reaches a weekly audience of about 1,000 viewers.  We have used video to host "live streamed" Election Night coverage of national elections, created Public Service Announcements, produced award winning video packages that were judged by industry experts, and over the past 5 years told the story of life in and around our school community.
This session reveals the why, what, and how video production at the high school level can and should play a prominent role in educating the youth of the United States in the years ahead.
With vivid examples of how video can be used in schools, and specific steps that can be taken at the local level, this session will provide the audience with a step by step guide as to how to launch a Student Video TV broadcasting program with any budget.
