So I found this really cool competition that's going on. It involves musicians posting video's of themselves, one showcasing their musical ability, and one playing a specific piece of work, to vie for a chance to play at Carnegie Hall in the YouTube Symphony Orchestra. Read the article here.
This got me thinking about the possibilities regarding education and contests like this. What about students doing some sort of project to win computers for their classroom? Or a teacher connecting with other teachers to compare different students work? I think that TeacherTube should launch some sort of fun bi-yearly competition...this would get teachers and students using technology more and would open up many possibilities. As educators we need to stop fighting against the change in schools and use it to our advantage. Find ways to make technology fun for students and yourself as a teacher. And what's more fun than some friendly competition to win something you really want?
