Next Vista, a moderated video sharing site for students, recently announced the launch of another student video contest. The contest is called the
Nebraska 90 Video Contest. The "Nebraska" part of the title reflects that the winners of the contest will be chosen live at the
Nebraska Educational Technology Association's annual conference (I'll be presenting there too). The "90" part of the title reflects that submissions need to be 90 seconds or less. The video should demonstrate and or explain an academic concept that students are likely to encounter in elementary school, middle school, or high school. Contest entries are due by Monday, April 18. Read all of the
contest rules here.

Applications for EducationOne of my US History classes just started work on a project in which they are each making a short video about the US government's policies toward Native Americans. Entering this contest might give my students a little extra incentive to put their best editing efforts forward. My students are using
JayCut to create their videos, but there are plenty of other ways to
make videos using web-based tools.
