Nipissing University is launching a new contest that will see one graduate’s classroom stocked with a fantastic array of new technology and professional development worth more than $15,000.It’s a contest that a grad can win, and all the young students they teach will benefit from.The NU Helping U Contest, funded by the Nipissing University Alumni Advisory Board, gives Nipissing University graduates who are Ontario residents and working in a publicly funded elementary or secondary school in Ontario, the chance to win a MacBook Pro, 30 iPad minis and the Bretford PowerSync Cart, for their classroom, plus a professional development seminar at the winner’s school conducted by Nipissing University’s Apple Distinguished Educators, Dr. Tina Benevides and Ken Waller.
Apple Distinguished Educators advise Apple on integrating technology into learning environments — and share their expertise with other educators and policy makers. They author original content about their work. They advocate the use of Apple products that help engage students in new ways. And they are ambassadors of innovation, participating in and presenting at education events around the world. Being part of the ADE community is much more than an honour — it’s an opportunity to make a difference.
To enter the contest, alumni must submit a photo addressing the theme of technology in education, and write a statement of no more than 200 words about the photograph and the importance of technology in education.
