US and Canadian classrooms have a chance to enter a FrontRow Show-and-Tell Video Contest and win prizes for their school or district.

Classrooms can enter to win thousands worth of FrontRow audio products

Classrooms that have a FrontRow Pro Digital, Pro, VocaLight, or Symbio infrared system have a unique opportunity to enter a contest to win thousands of dollars worth of FrontRow audio products. Classes need to record students doing a variety of sharing presntations — from show-and-tell to speeches to a rousing debate — all using the new FrontRow student pass-around mic.

Once they have their completed video, they simply upload it to the FrontRow website to be entered to win. The winning video will prominently feature the microphone and show the best use of the microphone building student engagement, participation, presentation or public-speaking skills. Take a moment to check out the videos!

The contest is running in the US and Canada from September 15 through November 10, 2009. The winners, one from each country, will be announced shortly after the close of the contest.

New microphone builds student particpation

The FrontRow student pass-around microphone was launched this year worldwide and was designed by FrontRow especially for K-12 classrooms - and for children's small hands. Classrooms using a FrontRow microphone have been shown to:

• Empower young children to speak up, feel confident and participate more
• Increase student engagement, resulting in greater attention to the lesson and increased student achievement
• Transform the classroom into an open and interactive setting where everyone contributes
