The purpose of Teaching with Contests is to assist educators in finding
contests that can be used in the classroom to motivate students. We are here for
the student and the teacher not the promotion of products or company public
relations. Our goal is to select contests and programs whose primary goal is
education and secondarily business/product promotion.

Dorie Glynn, who teaches a bilingual 2nd grade class at Kirk Elementary
School in Houston, has been preparing students for conversations of their own on

weather, and to play a virtual I Spy game, in which they will hunt for geometric
shapes in maps and photos sent from Twitter followers in other places.

“I see a huge amount of potential for connecting with another classroom,
asking regional questions, comparing and contrasting areas,” Ms. Glynn said.
