The video should demonstrate how different kinds of technology are being used in the classroom.

The contest is not limited to users of Interwrite Learning’s products or members of TeacherTube. It is open to all teachers and students in the U.S., New Zealand and Australia (still up for discussion) who can creatively show how they are using technology in the classroom or how they would like to use technology in their classroom.

All participants will submit their videos on the Interwrite Learning Web site at www.interwritelearning.com. Submissions will open at 12:00 Midnight EDT on September 11, 2007 and close at 11:59 EDT on October 21st, 2007. Winners of the Interwrite Makeover will be announced on Tuesday, November 27, 2007.

Digital vertical keystone correction allows for presentation from a variety of locations.

5. Complete FrontRow Pro Digital is a sound system that clarifies and evenly distributes the teacher’s voice throughout the classroom to allow students to more easily understand teachers regardless of where they’re seated.

7. Brewer Technology and Learning will provide one full day (up to six hours) of professional development to each of the winning schools in order to help teachers learn to use the Interwrite MakeoverTM equipment as tools to enhance and accelerate the learning process.

The complete interactive makeover is valued at approximately $15,000. In addition, winners will receive a $1,000 cash prize and a celebration party for the entire school. The contest will name one winner from the following three grade level segments: Kindergarten through fifth; sixth through eighth; and ninth through 12th.

The video will be judged on the following criteria: demonstration of effective use of technology, portrayal of teachers and students working together and the overall creativity and spirit. The video must be submitted by a teacher and the grade segment that the video will be judged in is determined by the grade level of that teacher. Interwrite must be mentioned once within the lyrics of the song. The conclusion must direct viewers to the Interwrite Learning Web site to vote. The video should be no longer than three minutes in length.
