| Dear Partner in Education, |
| Last week we told you we were preparing to launch the 2nd annual Interactive Classroom Makeover Contest. Well, the contest has officially begun! Go to www.eimakeover.com for complete details and entry guidelines. |
| Last year's contest garnered more than 200 submissions from schools in 41 states and two countries (New Zealand and Australia). See last year's winners. This year, we are expecting even more submissions, plus we've opened the contest up to Canada as well. |
| Be sure to visit www.eimakeover.com today and see for yourself what a great opportunity this is to bring next generation instructional technology to your classroom…not to mention the fun and excitement of collaborating with students to script, shoot and edit your own short music video showing how your classes are currently using, or would like to use, technology to make learning more engaging, increase student achievement and make your job easier. |
| We look forward to seeing your entry. |
| Here’s What You Need to Do to Enter |
| To enter you need to produce a music video with your class that shows how amazing it would be to have a technology-fueled classroom. |
| Your video should demonstrate: |
| · How your class is using or would like to use technology to make learning fun · How your class uses technology each day · Your vision of a classroom that is creatively and effectively using technology to enhance learning |
