In honor of National Teachers Day, eInstruction today announced it has selected a surprise early bird winner of its popular “Content Meets Technology” Sweepstakes.
One entrant has been chosen at random to win a 32 unit CPS RF (Classroom Performance System, Radio Frequency) set for their classroom valued at $2,000.
Anna Love, a teacher from South Side High School in Fort Smith, Arkansas is the winner of the CPS RF System. “I am so excited to win this prize. It will give my students a new way to practice their Spanish.”
Entries for the “Content Meets Technology” Sweepstakes will be accepted until 11:59 a.m. EDT, Tuesday, May 13, 2008.
To date, over 4,300 educators from across the nation have registered for this first-of-its-kind sweepstakes. By entering the sweepstakes, teachers are given a chance to win an interactive technology makeover for their classroom. The contest will name one winner from the following three grade level segments: kindergarten through fifth, sixth through eighth, and ninth through twelfth.
Upon entering the Sweepstakes, entrants will be asked to submit, using 250 characters or less, their vision of the role of technology in education. Those thoughts will then post to an interactive Google Map mashup on the eInstruction site. The “mashup” of Google Maps (technology) and the student/teacher collaborations (content) is designed to mirror the merger of eInstruction and Interwrite Learning.
