One of my co-workers worked with a teacher at Centennial Middle to develop a video about technology in schools - top prize is $25,000 in technology for the school... We'd love it if you'd check it out and vote

MORE INFO:
Jamie Hall, 6th grade math & science teacher at Centennial Campus
Middle School (CCMS), a group of almost 20 CCMS students, and Lodge
McCammon from The Friday Institute collaborated to create a music
video about how Mr. Hall and his students use technology in their
classroom.

We entered this video into an international competition put on by the
company eInstruction. With almost 300 entries, our video made it to
the top 5 in the middle school category!!! If we win the contest,
then Mr. Hall and CCMS will receive over $25,000 worth of technology
to be used in his classroom.

Interesting facts about the video:
1. A 7th grade CCMS student is singing lead vocals (amazing talent!!!)
2. Almost 20 other middle schoolers are singing back up vocals
3. The entire video was filmed using a $130 Flip Video Camera

However, we need your help! 30% of the final "score" for our video
will be based on public voting. So, please check out the video, vote
for "eInstruction - it's time." Help us spread the word by
forwarding this email to others who enjoy supporting Centennial
Campus Middle School, NC State University's College of Education and
The Friday Institute.

hey i've met lodge before... he makes lots of songs.

I've seen some science music videos a teacher did up at a school on her webpage. I've contemplated using them myself in my classroom

He does really great work, and they've come up with some new stuff recently. And he's working on a video contest for teachers who use the songs in class. If you're interested, let him know, or shoot me a message and I'll get you connected.
