ISTE Winners!
ISTE 2010 has been GREAT so far! We are on our last day and we have had so much fun here in Denver. Here’s a recap of what we’ve been up to.
As a part of the show, we thought it would be fun to hold a contest where you could literally Unlock Your Potential. Prior to the show, we sent out a bunch of keys to educators across the nation and we asked them to bring the key with them to ISTE. The participants were then given the opportunity to see if their key unlocked the LearnKey prize box for a chance to win a Kindle, i-Pod shuffles, or flash drives!
Here are a few of our winners!
Kindle Winner: Lisa Westmoeland from Derby, KS
iPod Shuffle Winner: Helen mowers from Killeen, TX
iPod Shuffle Winner: Peggy Perkins from Bastrop, TX
Tom’s Blooper Reel
We love Tom Carpenter here at LearnKey! Actually he’s heading back into our studio today to begin the filming of Server+ and because we love him so much, we thought that this time around we should honor him! So, we brainstormed for a couple of weeks about what we could do to express our gratitude publicly and well, we all agreed that this video would do the job perfectly!
ENJOY!
Thanks for being a good sport Tom!
