Doodle 4 Google

While most people visit Google to search for information, some people visit just to see the Google Doodle of the day (simply go to www.google.com to see today's doodle).  Here is a list of the 2012 Google Doodles.  (One of my alltime favorites is this one - make sure to hit play and have the sound up).  What is your favorite Doodle?  Please let us know in the comment area.

Anyway, Google has announced their 6th Annual U.S. Doodle 4 Google competition, inviting K-12 students around the country to create their own doodles.  This years theme is 'My Best Day Ever ... ".  The winning student will see their work on the Google Homepage for a day, win a $30,000 college scholarship and win a $50,000 technology grant for Medfield (I mean, for the winning school).  More information can be found at the Google Blog and at the Doodle4Google page.  Also check out the video below:

Please share this information with your students and their parents in case they are interested in submitting their Doodle4Google.  The deadline is March 22nd.
