Sean the judge; FTF appearance

Sean was a judge for New Technology Network's Video Challenge for students to produce a YouTube video answering the question: "What’s So Special About New Tech?" NTN is a nonprofit that works with school districts and communities to implement innovative public high school programs.

“I placed emphasis on the few who really used the learners, speaking in their own words (or scripted) about why they believe in their school,” says Mr. Astin describing his judging style. “Obviously, some got a boost from technical expertise, which was fun to see, but music, content and 'watchability' were important factors.”
