Help Kids Win Cool Stuff! World Book Asks Students, Educators, and Parents to Vote for Best Video about Finding Trustworthy Information Online
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) January 17, 2008 -- Last semester, the World Book Fact of Fiction? Student Video Contest (http://videocontest.worldbook.com) invited elementary, high school, and college students to create their own original video on what makes an online site a good source of information. Now, it's up to the rest of us to select the best videos from a group of finalists.
Online viewing and voting for best student-submitted videos is open through January 31, 2008, on the World Book site (http://videocontest.worldbook.com), allowing students, parents, teachers, librarians, and other educators to vote for the student video they believe best portrays the importance of finding reliable information online.
"These students really understand why finding trustworthy information is important, and the often frustrating process it entails. Individuals that take a few moments to vote, not only will find it entertaining, but may learn a few things that can help them be more informed consumers of online information," said Patti Ginnis, chief marketing officer for World Book.
Student finalists in each category (K-8) and (9-college) with the most votes will receive a MacBook and their school a digital video camera. First- and second-place runner ups in each category will receive video iPods.
