Several district teachers have been honored in the 2nd Annual Innovative Video in Education (iVie) Awards. They include Holmes Elementary teacher Brandie Woodfill, whose 4th grade class won the Animation Category; Crawford High teacher Wayne Rosenberger, who won a Special Achievement Award; and Lewis Middle School teacher Steve Douglas, who won the teacher's category. A nomination in the agriculture category was awarded to Knox Elementary's Samantha Del Monaco and Beverly Livingston's classrooms as well. Of the 133 county-wide schools, 21 were from 10 San Diego City Schools. Each entry to the iVie awards had to address at least one California academic content standard. Judging was based on how well the entry addressed the chosen content standard(s) as well as its technical merits. A judging rubric was developed to assist the panel of judges in determining the score in each category. To make videos, teachers and students learn the art and science of taking a story from an initial idea through the development of a storyboard and script, to filming, editing and producing. These skills involve reading, writing, speaking and listening, along with using a computer, the Internet, and video from a variety of sources.
