"We Collaborate" Contest - Get Blackboard Collaborate (Previously Elluminate) Free for a Year

[Steve Hargadon]

We're about to formally announce the 2011 Global Education Conference (hopefully later this week or next week--sign up at the new http://www.globaleducationconference.com to be kept informed) but before we do so I wanted to make this group aware of a contest I'm running as a part of my job at Blackboard.  The contest is connected with the new release of Blackboard Collaborate 11, and we're calling it "Collaborate for Good."

Here's how it works: Join the contest site at http://www.wecollaborate.com, and post a proposal on how you would use a free Blackboard Collaborate room to make a difference for your school, your organization, your community, or the world. Encourage your friends or "followers" to make comments supporting your proposal, with bonus points for cross-posting your ideas on your own blog. Then on August 1st we'll announce ten winners who will each get a free 50-seat room of the new Blackboard Collaborate 11.

Please post a proposal!  I can't wait to see the kind of things you'd like to do.

Sounds like a great contest. I'll head over there and give it a shot.

By the way what virtual classroom technology will we use for Global
Edcon 2011 ?

Thanks,

Gabriel

Actually, it's called Blackboard Collaborate.  :)  The new version, which is the combination of Elluminate and Wimba, should be rolling out this summer.
