Technology
in the Classroom 2004 Contest
Grand
Prize Winner
Deadline: April 21, 2004
Contest GuidelinesFor the past five years, the contest has received entries that are brief lessons to last just a few days as well as large-scale projects that require several months. Submissions have included lessons that address one or two content standards, comprehensive multidisciplinary projects that span several curriculum content areas and original teacher-created Webquests.
If entries are of sufficient quantity and quality as determined by the judging panel, one first-prize winner will be chosen for each category and grade range. One grand-prize winner will be chosen from among first-prize winners. Additional prizes will be awarded only if a significant number of entries are received within a particular category and concept. First-time submissions to the contest are particularly encouraged. Prize details will be posted on this page soon. The contest is open only to teachers and staff members of schools and school districts that are members of the Southern Regional ETTC Consortium. Participants agree to give the Southern Regional ETTC rights (including the presentation of student-created supporting materials) to reproduce the entries for distribution to other teachers and posting on the ETTC website. The
contest is judged by a committee that includes several members of the
ETTC Curriculum Committee. Persons interested in serving as judges are
encouraged to contact Ms. Patricia Weeks, Director of the ETTC at (609)
625-6040. Judging Criteria1.

Samples of student work are often a helpful supplement here. 9. Provides Opportunity for Assessment: Assessment of students clearly defined. How does the teacher know what the students have learned? What content has been learned? What technology skills have been learned? How is learning reinforced through assessment? Judging RubricThe criteria below need not be weighted equally.
