We just finished the Future of Journalism workshop in Nashville and it was fabulous!  The video session with Angela Grant, multimedia producer at the San Antonio Express-News was probably my favorite as we had plenty of hands-on time, learning to edit video, in addition to some great tips on collecting video.  She promised to post her notes from the session on her blog, so check her site in a few days.

Jason Levine truly is an Adobe Evangelist and quite entertaining with his sound effects.  We got hands-on training in Adobe Audition during his three-hour session.

And who knew there were so many helpful Google tools, like Google Docs and Spreadsheets?  Jack Lail, managing editor/multimedia for the Knoxville News Sentinel knows.  He co-taught a session with Emory University’s Lee Clontz  on 21st Century newsgathering and mobile/digital journalism.

We also had a surprise visit from John Seigenthaler, founder of the First Amendment Center, where the workshop was held.  He received a standing ovation and the room was ablaze with cameras flashing.  The students were in awe!  He gave a brief interview after speaking to the students and the video is on the Innovation in College Media blog.  Check back to the blog for more interviews from the workshop.

All in all, it was a very productive couple of days. Our three students have already met to plan to implement some of what they learned.  Should be exciting times ahead for eCorsair.com!
