Real World Math Video Contest
Arkansas’ Fayetteville Public School students will participate in an initial video program contest sponsored by Texas Instruments and TeacherTube. What a great way to launch a program to demonstrate how students in junior high and high school use math everyday. Students will create and post their short math videos, and the two most creative entries will win a TI classroom makeover valued at $10,000 each. Check out the Real World Math Program Web site at www.teachertube.com/ti. The contest ends May 5th, and winners will be announced on May 19, 2008. There will be 20 semi-finalists chosen by popular vote — 10 junior high and 10 high school.
The winning classrooms will have their new TI technology by January 1, 2009.
