Bill Dallas Lewis is on fire!

Tuesday, January 22, 2008 Bill Dallas Lewis is on fire!

Requests for Bill’s programs are rolling in- he’s hot, hot, hot! Author, illustrator, and speaker Bill Dallas Lewis lives and works in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. He connects to students (and teachers) all over the United States via interactive videoconferencing. Bill’s programs range from 1 hour programs to series of 3 videoconferences. His prices are very reasonable- a 1 hour session is only $175!  Bill is super enthusiastic and works wonderfully with students.

Here’s exactly what Bill offers (though not necessarily from the beach): 

 

Program #1 FOR STUDENTS (2-12) In this single, one hour presentation, Bill shares with students that he went to school where Dr. Seuss went to school. He shares how he read all he could about Dr. Seuss, learning about writing. Bill then graphically takes students through the writing process and the rewriting process. Finally, Bill demonstrates how he uses state of the art, computer graphics applications that can make any thing look real, from image manipulation, to animation, to sound. He lets students know that he has all of this fun, because he reads lots of books.

Cost: $150 for New Links members, $175 for non-member

 

Program #2 FOR STUDENTS (4-12) This is a three session presentation, running 1 hour and fifteen minutes each. In the first session, Bill interacts with teachers to discuss their interests and questions about the sessions. He then tailors his presentations to meet their interests. Many schools have worked with him to create 30 minute animated cartoons, real children’s hardback books, or even interactive CD’s. In the second session, Bill takes the students through the writing process. He takes the students through the process of story boarding the project. He uses his beyond PowerPoint presentation methods to make the process descriptive and lots of fun. Towards the end of the session, Bill goes in depth into image manipulation and basic animation techniques. In the third session, Bill picks up on more in-depth animation techniques, goes into the world of interactivity, logic and basic fun coding. He then explores the fun of non-linier video editing, and the new world of working with sound.

Cost: $450 for all three sessions for New Links members; $525 for non-members

Program #3 FOR TEACHERS Learn Flash, a fun in-service! This is four, two hour classes. Flash is really fun, but it’s really complex. Bill has taught Flash to 5th and 6th Graders, the Senior Graphics Designers in New York, the Graphics Specialists of the United States Coast Guard in Petaluma, CA as well as designers at The Gap in the Bay area. Teachers, Bill not only teaches Flash, he shares with you how you can integrate it into your classroom, school or school district. Flash makes any curriculum come to life. Times and dates are set to meet your needs. Contact the author directly to negotiate the cost at sillbill@well.com

Program #4 FOR STUDENTS (4-12)

We’ve moved into a new electronic, interactive age. This interactivity is all about the Code. Video games, cell phones, DVD players, websites, even our cars. Many of us have been led to believe that you have to be a rocket scientist to make up a videogame or a website. Bill would like to have fun with your students sharing with them how computer games are made on a basic and easy to understand basic. Let’s talk about variables, functions, arrays and how math makes games fun. Bill would like to open the minds of students that might want to concentrate on this big new world.

Cost: $150 for New Links members, $175 for non-member
