Fall 2012: Grants, Contests, and More


It’s hard to muster your donkey cam kung fu without a document camera of your own! Use these opportunities to make things happen for your classroom. I will keep you posted as other companies step up to the plate for schools. Here are the only opportunities this fall to win or earn a document camera for your school or classroom, or to get a freebie:

Digital Wish for ELMO
(for the cost of shipping, when you buy an entry-level document camera/one per school, extended until the end of September; use the promotion code SCE12 with any online retailer)

For now, I want to give kudos to the companies above. But let’s just say that document camera companies should do much more than they are doing if they want to reach schools. Document camera companies should offer regular and creative contests, grants, and freebies to struggling schools. Once a school or department gets a successful implementation going, it is certain to spread. Sometimes they just need to prime the pump.
