2010 Lesson Challenge
Calling all Chalkies: SoftChalk invites you to show us your best SoftChalk lessons and courses-- by participating in our second annual Lesson Challenge.
Why a Lesson Challenge? In our travels, we have seen some truly outstanding lessons created by SoftChalk users. Last year we launched our first-ever lesson challenge. Its popularity warranted a sequel in order to once again recognize the creative work of our clients.
How do I participate? Simply send us your completed SoftChalk lesson or course, along with the completed entry form. You may submit SoftChalk lessons in one of four categories (K-12 lesson, Higher Ed lesson, Corporate lesson, and an Entire Course in any category) and you may submit as many as you wish. Entry details are below.
What else do I need to know? The deadline for Lesson Challenge entries is January 15, 2010. In collaboration with Quality Matters, SoftChalk has developed a judging rubric that a committee of educators will use to review all entries and award prizes.
Did you say prizes? Of course! The Lesson Challenge award winners will receive a $500 award.
Remember -- If it's not easy, it's not SoftChalk! -- so, of course, participating in the Lesson Challenge is simple! Just follow the rules provided below:
