Pelion High Makes Final Push to Win $60K

Pelion High School needs your votes to help them win $60,000 worth of products and services in the Follet Challenge. 

Voting in the contest closes Monday. Click here to vote for Pelion High, and remember you can vote once a day until the end of the contest.

Earlier this year, Pelion High applied to the Follett Challenge, a program run by Follett to recognize and reward schools for their work applying technology, content and creativity in ways that engage students, foster literacy and promote critical thinking.

As part of the competition, Pelion High broadcast production students created a short video highlighting the new Learning Commons at Pelion High. “A Space for 21st Century Learners” explains the three parts of the Learning Commons: the Open Commons, the Experimental Learning Center and the Virtual Learning Commons. Students tour the different sections demonstrating how the spaces support communication, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking.

The video is now posted on the Follett Challenge website for the public to vote for their favorite school, which will count for 30 percent of the school’s total score. The other 70 percent is based on a judging panel.
