Remember
MTV Cribs? We thought, what if that same concept of Cribs...met the
classroom! From August 14th to September 14th we’ll be running a
challenge that anyone can join.
Here’s the details:
1. Rethink your learning space with the student in mind. What changes will enhance the learning experience?
2. Redesign your learning space and show us how you did it: Take pictures and video.
3.
Create a 3-min "Cribs" video showing off your new learning space.
Include a 250 word (or less) rationale for “why” you made the changes.
4. Submit your video, rationale, and bio to have a chance to be featured on our site and win great prizes!
