eInstruction entry?

I do believe our school might be able to win this contest, however the Staples contest would still be our best chance. We could make a parody video of a popular song that would be entertaining, yet envisions the use of technology in the classroom. I am sure some students taking comm-tech wouldn't mind helping in order to win prizes worth $75,000. Also, judging from the videos already uploaded for the contest on http://2010classroommakeover.shycast.com/, we have a good chance in winning this as the other videos aren't really funny or entertaining.
Parody of a rap song would be nice.

Future Shop Contest

Although I believe there is no harm in applying for this contest, I do believe we do not have a great chance of winning. This is because Future Shop is looking for schools which are in-need or show potential to do better if more resources were available. Our school is well-off, has enough computers and even though they are slow, they still manage to get the work done. We could try and explain how we could technically improve as a school with a new computer lab, however, I believe our school is quite respected academically either way.

Staples Contest

I believe our school would have a very high chance in winning this contest. On our 500 word essay, we can make many valid points to how our school is very environmentally friendly. The SWITCH club at our school- which uses solar energy to generate power for our school- can be our ticket in winning this competition. With SWITCH being a major point, we could also include our gardening club as well as many other "preserving environment" contests that Mackenzie students take part in.
