Share Paper: The Teach-Tech Bowl Contest as a Way to Motivate Teacher Candidates

  1. Irene Chen, Lamar University, United States

Abstract: The Teach-Tech Bowl contest that I offered to all sessions of ETC 3301 Educational Technology at the University of Houston Downtown in fall 2018 and spring 2019 semesters was made possible through a college Curriculum Innovation Award mini-grant. The contest invited teacher candidates who took the class to enter their technology projects in four categories (e-story, images, web pages, and animations) and winners received gift cards with recognition. The session will discuss the rationale and process of the project.
