Xavier Estacio is delighted that he won the Grand Prize during Qwizdom’s Tweet-away contest. “I’ve wanted a Qwizdom system for a couple years!” exclaimed Xavier. He won a complete Q2 Student Response System, a Q7 Presenter Tablet, Connect software, and WizTeach Tools.

Two years ago Xavier attended a “Teach the Teachers” collaborative science and technology training at Thatcher High School put on by Los Angeles Unified School District. That is where he used Qwizdom’s remotes for the first time. “They passed out the remotes and started asking questions,” said Xavier. “After each questions they’d show the immediate feedback. I thought it was an amazing tool!”

Xavier, a 2nd grade teacher at Caroldale Learning Community, is planning to share the system with a 5th grade teacher that teaches in the room next to his. “My goal is to use it as much as possible so that we can hopefully raise enough money to get a Q6 set.” His plan is to use the technology for daily math problems that cover the state standards. “It will be great to see instantly how all my students did on the standards. This way I can address any problems right away. Plus now the students can take their quarterly math assessments using the Q2’s rather than a bubblesheet, which means I don’t have to manually log in all that data to the website anymore!”

During Qwizdom’s 5 week Tweetaway, Xavier participated every week to try and win. Lucky for him, Xavier won on the last week of the contest, which just happened to be the Grand Prize.

“I’m still pinching myself! I can’t believe I won the grand prize!”
