2009 MCSD Writing Contest

As you are hopefully aware, this year's MCSD Writing Contest is underway! This year's theme has already generated some excitement:


We have received feedback from many who are asking, "How can we write about this topic when many Web 2.0 tools are "blocked" in the school district?"

Keep in mind, the paper is to be about the classroom of the future. As we all know, many of these tools are currently blocked in the district. Many teachers and students feel very passionate about the need to have access to these resources and so... this is a great opportunity to make a case for the use of Web 2.0 tools! Challenge your students to argue that point in their essays!

Remember, winners receive netbooks! Click here to review the guidelines, template, and scoring rubric.

Submitting entries:
  • email to contest@mcsdga.net.
  • All entries must be received by 5:00 PM on Wednesday, October 21, 2009.

Have you shared this opportunity with your students yet?
