W. H. Day Elementary School in Bradford, Ontario!!

The winning video for the FrontRow Show-and-Tell Video Contest is Dreamteam and Front Row submitted Maili Bickley Grade 4/5, Teacher.

This video did a fantastic job demonstrating the numerous benefits of the new FrontRow student microphone in the classroom by showing how the microphone:

 

  • Increases students\' confidence.

  • Encourages student participation.

  • Enables more effective communication.
  • Reinforces turn taking and listening.
  • Creates an engaged learning environment.

    • FrontRow $10,000 Prize Package!

    W. H. Day grand prize package included five complete FrontRow systems with both teacher and student microphones, IR speakers, and drop-in chargers.

    Installed with the support of our FrontRow Authorized Partner, High Tech Communications, these systems will help outfit the school so more classrooms can experience the same benefits. Additionally, the winning classroom will receive an MP3 player for podcasting with the FrontRow system, and the opportunity to discuss the history of the traditional talking-stick with an authentic Aboriginal tribe member via Skype, the classroom computer and the Pro Digital.


    Mali Bickley has noticed the benefits. "The student microphone has enabled and encouraged each and every student to participate fully in all oral and auditory programs. Even those who didn\'t have the confidence to share their work, thoughts or opinions orally before have been motivated to speak in front of their peers both in the classroom and globally.

    Thanks to all who entered
