ETA/Cuisenaire Announces Classroom Jeopardy! StandardsLink Competition for Teachers
October 1, 2008 Vernon Hills, IL— It’s the game America loves to play, and now teachers throughout the continental United States will get the chance to sharpen their smarts on the classroom version of Jeopardy! Beginning Oct. 6, every Monday teachers in K-8 schools in the continental U.S. can test their knowledge by answering online Classroom Jeopardy! StandardsLink questions as part of the 2008 ETA/Cuisenaire Classroom Jeopardy! Competition. Hosted by ETA/Cuisenaire, the nation’s premier educational publisher and pioneer of manipulatives-based education, the contest allows teachers to go online and answer questions in math, science, and literacy. Each time a teacher answers a question correctly, his or her name is entered into a prize drawing. The more times a teacher plays, the greater chance he or she has to win.
Weekly prize drawings will be held throughout the contest and one grand prize will be awarded. The grand prize will include a Classroom Jeopardy! StandardsLink Game Event held at the winner’s school hosted by ETA/Cuisenaire, a Classroom Jeopardy! game unit, a Classroom Jeopardy! StandardsLink series of cartridges in the winner’s choice of grade levels, and a coupon for 20% off additional Classroom Jeopardy! products from ETA/Cuisenaire.
On Oct. 6, 2008, ETA/Cuisenaire will post the first Classroom jeopardy! StandardsLink multiple-choice question and officially kick off the Competition. Each correct answer enters educators into the weekly and Grand Prize drawings.
To register to play and for a complete set of contest rules and regulations, visit the Classroom Jeopardy! Competition website at www.etacuisenaire.com/classroomjeopardycompetition. The Grand Prize will be awarded in January 2009.
