Teacher Reviews

  • "They put you in the exact same environment we put our students in, which certainly made me more compassionate and hopefully a better teacher."

    Pamela Andrews | Paragould, Arkansas

  • "There is no better environment for a classroom teacher of TV/video production to learn and grow. My students have been enriched by the training I received there, and the benefits are incalculable."

    Curtis Maberry | Colorado Springs, CO

  • Quite simply, the best professional development workshop I've ever attended (in 11 year teaching). Stop thinking about signing up and do it already!

    Dennis Leizear | Wilmington, Deleware

  • "I was apprehensive about being a newbie to teaching video. Everyone running the workshops possessed knowledge and experience that they sincerely wanted to share, and we were so busy actually doing that there was no time to feel out of place."

    Jana Bulloch | Houston, TX

  • “I went in with nothing and came out with the knowledge and confidence to elevate our broadcasting program to a respected, accepted and EXPECTED part of our school and community. It's an immersion experience that every teacher should have.”

    Jami Williams | Mexico, MO

  • "I came here knowing little about teaching video production. I left inspired knowing that I now have the tools to motivate my students to take our program to a higher level. This isn't just another workshop. It's fun, authentic, hands-on instruction at its best."

    Rob Doherty | Hermiston, Oregon

Workshop Details

  • The workshop begins Sunday at 6PM.

    No equipment is needed the first night (other than a laptop or notebook).

    • Camcorder, any size, and your media (SD cards)

    • Tripod, external microphone and headphones

    • Your own laptop and editing software.

    We can provide field equipment for those who can not bring their own, but it is always best to use the same gear your kids use. We can provide tripods for everyone to make air travel a little easier.

  • Attendees must provide their own lodging and transportation. Below are a list of nearby hotels. There are also many AirBNBs in the area. Springfield has Uber, Lyft, and multiple car rental companies.

    The workshop is hosted at Hillcrest High School in Springfield, MO.

  • Attractions/Food: Springfield has a ton of restaurants, shopping, and plenty of locally-owned coffee shops and watering holes. Members of our staff are great resources. Ask them if you are looking for something specific. We are happy to assist. We are also home to the Springfield Cardinals, the AA affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals.
