What’s Cool About Homeschool? Video Contest!

by Summer Minor

YouTube Laurel Springs School, a K-12 Distance Learning Program, is having an awesome contest right now! Why do YOU think Homeschool is Cool? They want homeschooler to make a 60 second video and host it on YouTube sharing why you love homeschooling. It is open for all homeschooling kids ages 5 to 18. The contest closes on December 3, 2007 and the winners will be announced soon after, so get your videos in soon.

The winners are selected by YouTube votes, so you will need to be creative and fun. Just be sure that you read over the Rules and Regulations for the contest and that you submit your video to the Laurel Springs Video Contest group. There are already a lot of great videos out there on YouTube that show homeschooling, so if you are feeling stumped at where to begin why not watch them and see if you feel inspired.

If anyone is entering this contest please let me know. I’d love to share the videos of my readers here. And who knows, it might even help you get more votes. :D

    I’m SO against the thought of putting a video of my little boy online, even if there are great prizes to be had.

    Laurel Springs already has some great student videos up at blip.tv (my name links to it above). I understand why some parents are hesitant to allow video of their children, but kids, particularly at the high school level, are already deeply involved in social media and web 2.0 on a daily basis. - tyler
