The county will be highlighted during the 8th Annual Mobile Learning Conference of Northeast Mississippi Community College on June 13-15.
A variety of lectures will be available to participants on the history of the area, according to conference founder and Northeast Technology Specialist Jeffrey Powell.
"This year I wanted to take people to my hometown and what better way to do that than to visit Tishomingo State Park," Powell said. "What sets Mobile Learning apart from any other conference is a unique hands-on experience, such as visiting the Corinth Contraband Camp and Tishomingo State Park."
In the past two years, Northeast's Mobile Learning Conference has given participants a chance to have a hands-on experience in Corinth with a photo safari in downtown Corinth and one at the Corinth Contraband Camp as well.
On June 14, Dr. Larry Anderson and Northeast Public Information Specialist M ichael H. Miller will lead a photo safari through Tishomingo State Park.
"Northeast Mississippi is known for some of the most beautiful landscapes and best history in the Magnolia State," said Miller. "It is only natural we return to our roots and not only use this as a learning opportunity for educators throughout the state, but to promote the positive aspects of northeast Mississippi and Tishomingo County."
The photo safari is slated for 10 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Participants will leave Northeast at Corinth at 9 a.m. The four sessions will last just over an hour.
"In the ever-changing role of photography, mobile photography is now the 'in' item for many people, especially educators," said Miller. "Being able to produce their own content for their classrooms as well as interactive multi-touch books, educators are learning how to increase the amount of information to their students in the face of ever-shrinking budgets."
During the safari, e nvironmental portraits and many other photo techniques will be discussed as well as hands-on explanation of classic photo techniques, according to Miller.
"Mobile photography not only means being able to produce a high-quality photo, but one that tells a story as well," added Miller. "It also means being able to produce photos from just about anywhere."
