What is ORBIT?
ORBIT is a new resource bank with a focus on interactive teaching in mathematics and science across the primary / secondary sectors, enhanced by using ICT. It is designed for a wide audience of teachers and teacher educators interested in using and sharing Open Educational Resources (OER).
We have found it difficult to source high quality GeoGebra resources for primary children, hence this competition!
The three winners of the ORBIT/GeoGebra competition (and probably some of those on the shortlist) will have their activities posted on the ORBIT wiki alongside teachers from prominent teacher education institutions.
This is a unique opportunity to have your name associated with a high profile, innovative University of Cambridge project.
Prizes
1. University of Cambridge T-shirt, mug and bag for the winner + a University of Cambridge/GeoGebra Certificate
2. University of Cambridge T-shirt and bag for finalist number two + a University of Cambridge/GeoGebra Certificate
3. University of Cambridge T-shirt and mug for finalist number three + a University of Cambridge/GeoGebra Certificate
Fame – or at least public acknowledgement! – through inclusion in the ORBIT resource bank. This is a unique opportunity to have your name associated with a high profile, innovative University of Cambridge project.
The creators of the top 25 resources will receive a University of Cambridge/GeoGebra Certificate
