C-SPAN Classroom Contest

New to C-SPAN Classroom

There's still time to win a free Flip Ultra Video Camera for your classroom! All you have to do is add your work to
C-SPAN's Constitution Clips.
C-SPAN Classroom's 2010 Summer Fellows and the Education Department have created a virtual U.S. Constitution. It features video clips taken from C-SPAN's Video Library with prominent political figures discussing various parts of the Constitution.

Here's how you can win:

1. Look through C-SPAN's Constitution Clips.
2. Find a phrase that interests you.
3. Search C-SPAN's Video Library for a clip that addresses that phrase.
4. Clip that section. Clips should be between 30 seconds and 10 minutes in length.
5. Submit the clip to C-SPAN Classroom through our Ning page by sharing the clip's link in the discussion area. Identify which section your clip addresses. Make sure to leave your name and your school's name, so we can credit your work.

We will award a free Flip Ultra Video Camera to the first twenty teachers who post clips that we select for our Constitution Clips. We are looking for clips that feature speakers who represent the diversity of the population of the United States.

We'll officially launch C-SPAN's Constitution Clips on
www.c-spanclassroom.org by Labor Day. After the launch we will continue to add video clips that we hope will provide more robust options for you to use in your classroom. If you have any questions, please contact us at educate@c-span.org.

Good luck on your search, and we can't wait to see what you come up with!

Sincerely,
C-SPAN Classroom
