Join the GEG Michigan Tech Challenge!


Learn Some Easy Tech Tools & Have Some FUN!!!


Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to learn some helpful tech tools and earn awesome badges. Each week for 9 weeks I will post an easy and short tech challenge (some of which you might have already done before). Each challenge is posted with my "how-to" steps to help you succeed. 

  • If you complete the challenge you will be awarded that challenge's badge to show off your awesomeness! 

  • If you complete the challenge in the assigned week you will also earn a point to be added to the Leaderboard on the GEG Michigan Tech Challenge website (you will choose a username so others will not know who is in the competition if you want to remain secret). 

  • If you complete the challenge any time after the due date you will earn .5 of a point. 

  • After all the challenges are assigned, anyone completing all the challenges (either on time or late) will receive a certificate. For those who are competitive (you know who you are) we will also see who can earn all 10 points on the Leaderboard.


Remember, you can use anyone as a resource: friends, family, and even students!


THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:

  • You do not need to do every challenge, but they are posted every Monday at 7:00 am.

  • You can complete the challenge at any time (even past the week it is assigned) to earn the badge.

  • To earn the full point you must complete the challenge by that Sunday at 8:00 pm.

  • You can complete challenges after the due date for a 1/2 point.

  • There is no pressure and this is for fun, but it's a great chance to try something new.

  • Remember, you can ask for help from your friends, family, and even students.

  • This is just for FUN!


WHERE TO FIND CURRENT CHALLENGES:

Once you accept the Challenge you will get steps to add yourself to the GEG Michigan Tech Challenge Google Classroom. All communication will be through this Google Classroom. Make sure to enable notifications for this Classroom. When new Challenges are added every Monday morning at 7:00 am, you will receive an email. Get ready to get your Tech Geek On and have some FUN!

There are only 11 days left to sign up for the 2023 GEG MI Tech Challenge! Join in on the fun! January 13 is the deadline to join!

For those that signed up but were unable to get in with your school account (you get a message saying you are not allowed) that means your district does not allow you to join other Domains' Google Classrooms. There are some ways around this.

You have 2 choices:
  1. Bring a plate of cookies to your Tech Director and ask them to open your Google Classroom access to other G Suite Domains. (You REALLY want this ability anyhow so you can join other districts' Classrooms. All your Tech Director has to do is click a switch in the Admin Console).
  2. Join the Classroom with your personal Gmail account. (If you change the account you are using, please resubmit this form so I have your accurate info: bit.ly/GEGmiTechChallengeSignUp23.)
Let me know if you are having any issues. Thanks for your interest in playing along!
