What's Your Story

Digital wisdom from young filmmakers: “What’s Your Story?” winners

May 24, 2013 By Anne 1 Comment

This year was a wonderful departure – and I think trendsetter – not only for Trend Micro's "What's Your Story?" video contest but for Internet safety education as a whole. It asked filmmakers to show us what "the good side of the Internet looks like" to them. There are two grand prize winners, a school and individuals: "The Legend of the Responsible Gamer," by Ripley Union Lewis Huntington High … [Read more...] about Digital wisdom from young filmmakers: “What’s Your Story?” winners

Great opportunities launched on Safer Internet Day

February 5, 2013 By Anne Leave a Comment

Now here's an interesting question, one that young digital media users don't hear a lot: "What does the good side of the Internet look like?" They're invited to submit a creative answer to that question in video format, either as individuals (aged 13+) or as students on behalf of a particular school, for the 2013 "What's Your Story" contest launched today, Safer Internet Day, Feb. 5 (for more on … [Read more...] about Great opportunities launched on Safer Internet Day

‘What’s Your Story?’: Video contest for digital citizens

February 8, 2011 By Anne 1 Comment

I have a bias because I'm a judge, but I love this contest because it turns digital video producers 13+ into digital-citizenship educators (and teen educators usually have considerable credibility with their peers). The international contest, TrendMicro's "What's Your Story," invites teens to produce and submit a video for one of three broad categories: "Being a Good Online Citizen," "Using a … [Read more...] about ‘What’s Your Story?’: Video contest for digital citizens
