Chia Grossmann

I inherited my talent for math and engineering from my father and music and art from my mother. As a child I was fortunate to be a student in an educational program, which encouraged exploration, creativity, and divergent thinking. I think the photography bug bit me when I learned how to print photos in our home darkroom. Working on a video for the San Diego Junior Theater in eighth grade, was my introduction into the intricacies of creating video projects. In High School Dad promised to match what I saved to buy a car. The summer before my high school senior year I blew the entire wad on photography equipment. I encourage creativity so that each child can discover their strength and build on it. I want them to have the joy of learning so that they will remain curious and continue to seek knowledge throughout their lives. In my classroom I integrate technology using iPods, computers, video and audio. I have been fortunate to receive recognition and many awards, and the two that I am most proud of are Teacher of the Year and a two-time winner of an iVIE award. |

Rob Shepherd

Rob Shepherd taught for 36 years in the Escondido Union School District. Rob first began integrating audio and video projects into his instructional program way back in the 70s, initially utilizing a cassette recorder, sound effects on 12 inch LP records played on a classroom record player, and a super eight movie camera. As technology advanced, Rob's students raised funds to purchase increasingly sophisticated equipment for sound effects stories and video productions. With the support of EUSD's Project Live, Rob's students wrote, performed, and produced a number of iVIE award winning standards-based instructional videos. Rob says, "Video, photography, music, and audio productions are highly engaging and motivating forms of expression for kids. The Escondido Youth Media Festival provides us with an important vehicle to recognize and celebrate the creative genius of EUSD students."
