Bing Our School Needs
I teach. I teach in a private high school. Money is tight, our budget is low, we reuse everything and our technology fails constantly. Many days we have no paper. It is frustrating to want to do the best by our students, but not to have the money to do so. However, we do it. We find other ways to teach successfully. We get creative. We find a Plan B, or C, or D. We do whatever it takes to be the most effective teachers we can with whatever resources we do have.
Bing recognizes the need for more school funding. In order to show their support for all those who assist in the educational process, they are running the Bing's Our School Needs Contest. Teachers and students have until Friday, October 22nd to submit an entry to show Bing through essays, videos, or photographs what they think their school needs the most. Bing will be giving away up to a million dollars in prizes and donations.
Does your school have a need? Check this video out, then go here to learn the details and how to enter the contest. Voting begins on October 27th, so check back on the site then to vote for your favorite school.
For doing the right thing and providing schools with a chance to do more, TKDDaughter gives Bing and the Our School Needs contest a:
