Congratulations to the record number APS media specialists and teachers who sponsored projects at the Georgia Student Media Festival (GSMF) held Friday April 29 at the Clayton County Professional Learning Center. APS had a record year at the festival, with 94 entries from across the district. Thirty-four of the projects scored 96 or higher (another all-time high), which makes them eligible for the International Student Media Festival (ISMF) being held November 10-12 in Jacksonville, Florida. Special thanks to all the APS Learning Technology Specialists who assisted with project development, submission, registration, and judging. Below is the list of the qualifying entries.
APS media specialists and teachers are no strangers to the competition. Eight of the sixteen APS GSMF student projects won at the ISMF last year. Congratulations and good luck.
