Okay, I’ve got one more contest in me this summer… As usual, the winner gets everlasting fame and a CASTLE mug. I’ll also throw in three great books: It’s Being Done: Academic Success in Unexpected Schools, Ordinary Resurrections: Children in the Years of Hope, and The Emergency Teacher: The Inspirational Story of a New Teacher in an Inner City School.


Technology poem / song contest!

Create a technology-related (or, even better, an educational technology-related) poem or song. It can be a short piece (limerick, sonnet, a single verse or chorus) or something longer (anyone up for a ballad?). It doesn’t have to rhyme…

Here’s a poem example:

Haiku

Followers miss me.

Here’s a song example:

[sing to Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others, The Smiths]

iPhones are better than others.
iPhones are better than others.
I haaave an iPhone,
and you don’t have one, you loser.

I know you can do better than these!
