Reach in for ReachOut.com Competition
This week we launched a YouTube competition and we are hoping that you teachers out there will get all of your students involved to share their story. Check out the promo


We want students to share with us ...

What makes them unique - 1 in a million? What are some of the random little things that makes them awesome, or funny, or cheeky? What's something they can do that no one else can? Where is the place that they feel the happiest? What inspires them? What do they want to do when they finish studying? Where in the world would they most like to go? Whatever their story, we want them to share it with Reach Out.

To enter the competition, students have until 5.00 pm on the 16th August 2010 to submit a video to our Reach in for ReachOut.com Competition group. The winning video will be the highest rated video in the group at the close of the competition, so remember to get students to vote on each others stories! The winner will receive a prize pack that includes a 160GB iPod classic®, a $50 iTunes® voucher and a Nikon COOLPIX P100 Digital Camera which features a powerful 26x zoom and full HD video with stereo sound.

Pretty cool, huh?
So what are you waiting for? Get filming, get sharing and get voting! If you have any
questions, you can head over to our Reach In for ReachOut.com discussion thread on our Facebook page.

If you need ideas for how to create a digital story, check out the Oasis resource that has a whole learning module dedicated to digital story making. So get to it - time is running out!
