Guidelines

• Entries may be submitted by an individual or teams of up to six Northside ISD student members. The exception to this is the "Class Project" category (any type of digital media product, where the entire class had significant "hands-on" with technology to create a SINGLE product).
• Each entry must be sponsored by a Northside ISD teacher or Campus Instructional Technologist.
• All entries must be student-produced. However, guidance and instruction may be given by sponsoring adults. Younger students may need more guidance and technical assistance. Sponsors, parents, or other interested parties older than the entry’s grade level should not develop and/or produce the entry.
• All entries must be computer generated.
• Entries must adhere to all applicable copyright laws. (See Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia. Products will NOT be posted on the Web.)
• Entries must be begun and completed during the 2002-2003 school year.
• Each entry must be submitted on a CD or diskette. Each CD or diskette must be labeled with: Title of Project, Student Name(s), Sponsor, Grade Level Category, Product Category, and Campus. Any entry that is not labeled completely will be disqualified.
• All entries become the property of Northside ISD and no entries will be returned.
• All product entries must be received at the Instructional Technology Office, addressed to the attention of Beverly Ahr, between November 1, 2003 and April 9, 2004.
• Additional Guidelines for Special Education Students:
  • Special Ed. students who are working 2 years or more below grade level should be entered into the appropriate Grade level they are enrolled in for the Alternate Curriculum category.
  • Teachers should use discretion depending upon each student's abilities as to whether the student should be entered in the regular category or the alternate curriculum category. The alternate curriculum category will be more for AMC type students and some local curriculum students.
