00. Canvas Challenge Submission Quiz: 2014-2015 (after each level)

The Canvas Challenge submission requires that you maintain the requested level for the entire month. For example, teachers may submit themselves for the Green, Blue, or Black level during the first week of the month, yet are required to maintain that level throughout the month. Courses will be evaluated at the end of each month.

In addition, each month a teacher is allowed to submit any course for which they maintain the Black Diamond level. The same course can be submitted month after month. The course submitted will need to show monthly progress in order to be considered for that month.  (For example, entries submitted during May will be evaluated at the end of May and must show evidence of use during the full month of May.)

PRIZES for 2015-16:

• Green: Certificate, Green Level Badge
• Blue: Certificate, Blue Level Badge, Canvas Blue Level SWAG Bag (loaded with amazing prizes.)

Additional prizes will be available for teachers who do a little more and create a course that reaches Black Diamond or Double Black Diamond Level. 

• Black Diamond: Certificate, Black Diamond Badge, Canvas Black Diamond Level SWAG Bag, PLUS entry into a drawing for one of 10 $100 classroom materials grants -- this is tentative and still in the brainstorming process.
