Journalism Education Fellowship provides tuition-free, graduate-level interactive media course for teachers
N.C. Scholastic Media Association will offer a short-term summer course for North Carolina journalism teachers and journalism/media advisers. Please help us spread the word.
Journalism teachers and publication/media advisers can receive three hours of graduate credit — free of charge. JOMC 491, "Teaching Interactive Media in the Secondary School," will be offered July 10-16. The course will be taught in the School of Media and Journalism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Current journalism teachers and publication/online media advisers -- and those who may soon find themselves teaching journalism -- are encouraged to apply.
NCSMA’s Journalism Education Fellowship Program allows teachers to enroll in a short-term summer course. N.C. journalism teachers and media advisers can apply for free in-state tuition, free lodging and free books on a first-come, first-served basis. (These fellowships are valued at $1,230 each.)
The course in teaching interactive media will be taught by Professor Steven King, photojournalism and multimedia faculty at UNC-CH.
NCSMA offers this free in-state tuition opportunity through its NCSMA Teacher Fellows Program. To inquire about fellowships covering tuition, residence hall accommodations and books, contact Monica Hill at 1-888-562-6276 or [ncsma@unc.edu][NCSMA <ncsma@unc.edu>][ncsma@unc.edu]ncsma@unc.edu. Act soon. Fellowship application deadline is May 15.
N.C. Scholastic Media Association also invites teachers and students across the state to the annual Summer Institute, June 13-16 at UNC-Chapel Hill. For registration information, go to ncsma.unc.eduFrom one of I-SS’ very own: Using teacher videos to increase student learning
