Corporate Partners

With partners like these, it’ll be a really BIG show!

		Adobe once again partners with us to provide training in digital imagery. This year’s workshops will feature both Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements; these are streamlined, user-friendly powerful applications for editing and creating still images and video, respectively. Be sure to sign up early for the Photo Safari!
		Apple supplies our Macintosh computers that enable our ambitious workshop schedule to once again take place. We couldn’t do it without our Macs, Apple! This year, Don Henderson will again give his presentation on the Power of Classroom Media. You won’t want to miss this year’s keynote speaker, Marco Torres, nationally recognized Apple Distinguished Educator.

		Promethean was one of the most popular corporate partners at this year’s festival in Louisville. At our “Tech or Treat” Meet & Greet students and parents lined up to play fun games on Promethean’s Interactive Whiteboard using the ActivExpression Learner Response System. They loved being able to take home their own ActivExpression stress relievers too! We’d like to offer a special thanks to the fantastic Promethean team in Louisville, especially Paul Awtrey, who also taught a Promethean ActivInspire workshop.
		We hope you didn’t miss the presentations by Savannah College of Art and Design! There was a fun demonstration of some of their eye popping state-of-the-art animation! Once students saw the kind of work they do at their world famous art school, they wanted to hear more about how they could become a student there!
