Halloween Mac-Tober Contest

When things feel a little too busy at school, it's time to liven things up, raise some spirits, and have a bit of fun. In our case, a number of old and near-obsolete iMacs in our school are about to be replaced. Teachers are fretting over the planned replacement in addition to the typical woes of a busy school year, so what better way to lighten the mood than to "repurpose" our old iMacs for Halloween-themed contest?

Franken-iMac (Example)


I didn't set many parameters, though we could have established detailed judging criteria for creativity, ingenuity, best idea execution, and all-around stellar performance. Instead, the only rule was to be the judge's favorite (the judges here being a group of library media and technology personnel from outside our building).

And so I present to you this year's entries. Comment on your favorite. I'll share the results on Halloween.

Big Mac (MINC/PreK)


MacFlurry (Kindergarten)


Do-Mac-Un (1st Grade)


Mac Facebook (2nd Grade)


Mac Potato Head (3rd Grade)


SuperMac (4th Grade/GT)


Mac-O-Lantern (Related Arts)

  3. Oh just too cute! Though two disturb me greatly... first the Super Mac 4th Grade GT the face looks maniacal and evil genius like (though I respect that!) and the Facebook Mac is worrisome from the standpoint of the COPA federal law...IE: what the heck are elem kids doing on flippin Facebook!?? [grins] See? This is why we need to teach our kids Digital Social Media sooner rather than later!
    Cheers babe!
