Academic Technology Podcast - Episode 9
Hello and welcome to the seventh episode of the Academic Technology Podcast. I'm Kimberly Hayworth, the manager of Academic Computing's Consulting and Multimedia Services group.
Today's episode includes an overview of academic technology events being held on the Stanford campus during Summer and Fall of 2006.
Summer 2006 events include the Digital Media Academy (or DMA) which offers classes June 26th through August 25th.
The DMA is a nationally-recognized organization offering hands-on learning experiences for K-20 educators, teens, and adult-learners in a broad range of digital media technologies including:
Video Production & Post Production
3D Animation
Flash & Game Design
Web Design
Publishing & Photography
and Educator Focused Courses tailored to digital media in the classroom.
DMA is accredited by Stanford University Continuing Studies and held to the highest standards of excellence. Instructors include nationally-known industry experts, master teachers and award-winning creative professionals. All DMA courses throughout the year are offered for optional Stanford Continuing Studies credit.

The Stanford Center for Innovations in Learning (or SCIL) Summer Institute will be held on July 17th through the 19th and on July 19th through the 21st.
The 2006 SCIL Summer Institute will focus on Designing Learning Spaces. During the three-day workshop, participants, will gain experience in applying learning and design principles to creating learning spaces for a variety of settings. Participants will work in teams to prototype learning spaces, learn from the case studies in the experimental interactive classrooms of Stanford's Wallenberg Hall and gain experience creating assessment and evaluation tools.

Events in Fall 2006 include the Campus MovieFest and the Information Technology Open House.
Campus MovieFest (or CMF) is the world's largest student film festival and has enabled over 50,000 students around the globe to create short movies and see them on the big screen.
CMF was created by four students at Emory University in 2000 and they and their team at Ideas United have taken the event worldwide.
In Fall 2006, CMF will provide up to 200 teams of students at Stanford with the necessary laptops, camcorders, training and support during this week-long event. CMF is for all students - not just filmmakers - and is an opportunity for them to collaborate in creative teams and use technology in ways they never have before to create amazing short comedies, dramas, documentaries and more.
The movies are judged by a panel of students and staff and winners are announced at Stanford's CMF Finalé. The entire Stanford community is invited to this red carpet celebration where the best-made movies will be showcased.
Top teams from Stanford will then go up against other schools in the region at the CMF Grand Finalé followed by a CMF International Grand Finalé.
All student movies will be made available online. For more information, please go to campusmoviefest.com
The Information Technology Open House will take place on Wednesday, November 1, 2006 at Meyer Library.
This annual event, sponsored by Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources, Information Technology Services, and Campus Wide Agreements, gathers representatives from over thirty campus-wide technology service groups to meet and greet Stanford faculty, students, and staff and provide information and advice about Stanford's rich technology resources.
The IT Open House is a unique opportunity to "one-stop-shop" for:
* Information about purchasing computer equipment and software through Stanford programs;
* Connecting to SUNet from home;
* Protecting computers from viruses;
* Using technology in the classroom, programs to help in teaching, course software, data collections available for research and instruction; and
* Much more.
Details will be posted on the IT Open House website at http://itopenhouse.stanford.edu as they become available:
