OK, I hope I am not yet too late for this. I am reposting from Promethean's Contest blog because I don't want to miss anything...

A simple way to enter to win a complete ActivClassroom!

To kick off the National Educational Computing Conference in Washington, D.C., Promethean USA announces its 2009 ActivBlogging Contest.

Promethean will also “tweetaway” an ActivBoard+2 each day at NECC, with a complete ActivClassroom giveaway on Wednesday, July 1st. Follow us on twitter during the conference for a chance to win.
