2008 IFFF STUDENT FILM WINNERS

Best Educational “ADINA’S DECK” Debbie Heimowitz, Co-Director/Co-Writer, Jason Azicri, Co-Director/Co-Writer, Stanford University

Congrats, Debbie and crew!!!

But what IS Adina’s Deck?  Well…

Adina’s Deck is a 30-minute film, website and parent/teachers guide to educate 9-15 year olds about Cyber Bullying: harassment via the Internet, digital technologies and mobile phones.

I just ordered it myself (will be a MUST WATCH for my screeners during their training).  Actually, as I think about it, this will be a must-carry when I go into schools and chat about cyber safety.  Rock on.
