KS’ digital media playground at the SOTF Conference

October 27, 2016

Partnering with the Hawaiʻi Association of Independent Schools (HAIS), PBS Hawaiʻi’s Hiki Nō and ʻŌlelo Community Television, members of Ho‘olaukoa, along with students and staff from KS Hawaiʻi, created a “Digital Media Playground” at the 2016 Schools of the Future (SOTF) Conference.

The playground was set up as way for educators to see a wide range of resources that can involve digital media in the classroom, with four stations in a large conference room at the Hawai‘i Convention Center.

At the end of the day, three winners were picked, from over 50 conference participants that entered, to win SOTF digital media toolkits, including an iPad mini, an all-purpose filmmaking case for the iPad, a lavalier microphone and a tripod, to start working on digital media projects in their own classrooms.

KSH student Tia Kamaliʻi represented the KSH Electronic Media Club at the SOTF Conference.
