Sure Apple just announced the ‘app of the year‘ and it’s not a fart app. It’s Flipboard, a terrific news reader app that lets you swipe your way through your rss feeds. Fully formatted, it’s like your own newspaper with video, instant news, and more. But I digress.
This brings me to wonder, what are this year’s best online resources for teachers? There’s thousands out there and it’s always helpful to find out what your peers are using in their everyday lives.
The Contest
Just vote for what you think is this year’s best online resource for teachers. It can be an app on iPad, iPhone, Android, or a more web-based resource like Diigo or WordPress or Twitter.
It doesn’t have to be a resource that started in 2010, just one that you feel was a great personal resource for the year.
The goal here is to get a robust a list so if you see a resource already listed, submit a different one. For example, don’t just write ‘Twitter’ 5 times. Think of another resource you frequently use that you want others to know about.
The Prize(s)
In the spirit of getting the best / most results, why not offer a fun little giveaway? Since there will likely be no clear winner or loser, 5 entries will be selected at random to each win their choice (1) of the following:
- A donation of $20 in your name to a charity of your choice.
- A $20 donation to any project in your name to DonorsChoose.org.
- A $20 iTunes gift card
- A $20 gift certificate to Twournal so you can have your presumably brilliant tweets bound and stored on your coffee table for years to come.
How to Enter
Simply write in the comments of this post! You must log in with your actual name and e-mail address in order to be considered for one of the prizes. Don’t worry, you can log in with Twitter, Facebook, OpenID, WordPress, and more with just a click or two.
In your comment, all you have to do is write the name of the online resource you’re voting for.
If you see someone already voted for what you wanted to write, pick a different resource. That way we can all develop as robust a list as possible.
All The Details
- The last day for entries is New Year’s Eve. Vote by midnight on 12/31/10 to be considered for the prizes. Prizes will be announced the following week.
- Winners will be notified by e-mail and mentioned in a post on Edudemic. (It will be up to you to decide if you want to have your selected gift shared with the Edudemic community.)
- You may enter as many times as you like as you offer helpful resources. Spammers will have their IP and comments blocked.
- One online resource submission per comment, please. For example, just write ‘Diigo’ not a list of your 5 favorite resources.
That’s it, happy voting and I can’t wait to see what happens!
