Bretford Kicks Off #LearningIs Contest

Furniture provider Bretford has launched its new #LearningIs contest, which gives teachers an opportunity to win mobile furniture for their classroom.

To participate, teachers use their Twitter accounts – hashtag #LearningIs -- to describe what they've done to foster collaboration in their classroom. All participants will be entered into a drawing to win Bretford products, including a PowerSync Tray for iPad or furniture from the company's EDU 2.0 line.

The #LearningIs campaign begins this month and runs through January 2014. For more information, visit the company's Web site.
