It has been ages since I have been in on a BIG giveaway. Well, that all ends today! I have officially joined forces with KinderCraze and a handful of other wonderful women to bring you a very special giveaway. The goal was to create an event that made Valentine’s Day extra special for our followers. So, here we be . . . and just wait until you see what we have in store for you 🙂
Love Is In The Air has two amazing parts. First, each individual blogger has a fun little “techy” prize up for grabs. I’m talking everything from iTunes gift cards to doc cameras. (I’ll tell you all about mine in a moment!!) You can hop between us and enter yourself for each one of these. Second, there is a GRAND PRIZE being offered as well. We each chipped in to award one very lucky winner an iPad Air. Enter the Rafflecopter for this prize on any of our blogs! I told you this was an EPIC giveaway 🙂
I am dying to tell you what I selected to give away. Well, after much brain searching, I settled on a killer cool bluetooth ultra-portable speaker. I read countless reviews and watched a handful of videos to ensure I wasn’t picking a dud. Well, this particular speaker is the highest rated for the its class . . . they say it has amazing sound and can fill the room.
I use a portable speaker in my classroom and it is so helpful. You don’t have to plug your phone into anything, which means you can take pictures of your crew without interrupting the tunes. You also don’t have to run across the room to control the music flow – the power is right in your hand! Just think about how great this would be. Music in YOUR classroom will never be the same 🙂
Why stop here . . . hop around to these other amazing sites and enter to win oodles of other tech-savvy classroom tools 🙂
This looks awesome! I am having major speaker issues right now, so a new speaker would be perfect!

This would be perfect so that my students can listen to books recorded on my ipod!

We use itumes as a brain break to dance around and practice our sight words. Right now I have to run it through my computer. This would be so much easier!
I would use this to listen to Kidsbop as we do silent work.
I don't listen to enough music in class. This should definitely help!
I think music can really help learning! I'd love to use it to play gentle background music 🙂
I would use the speaker on the weekend when I am at school planning.
I don't have a speaker!! But I'd love to hook it up to my ipod!
This speaker would be awesome to use in my classroom!
I am a small private school and I have a document camera to use with the one antique desk top computer. I use my smart phone for many things but I need this speaker to have my music that I use foe transitions and math and…! It would be so nice if the kids could hear it LOL
Pauline
This speaker is very cool. I would love to use this in my classroom!
I would use the speaker to have more music in my classroom.
Thank you for not having a Facebook requirement in your
giveaway – not everyone uses Facebook!
I would play music in the classroom.

I would LOVE this!
The right "mood" music just might tame the wild beasts in my classroom.
I would use it in the gym with my iphone so we can listen to music while we get fit!!
We regularly stream music using Spotify and Pandora. This would work well with our iPads so I could have control where ever I was in the classroom!
I would use it to play my musical transition cues as well as background music while students are working.
Oh my gosh!!! I would soooo love to have this speaker for my classroom!! We do lots of brainbreaks to popular music!!
My kiddos love music, so this would be a great addition to our classroom.
I would definitely use this on computer or tablet in the library.
I'd put on my own music instead of Pandora…ugh those commercials!
I started using audio books with my 5th grade intervention reading class. I play the book & they follow along. They were stoked when we finished reading The BFG, worth 6 AR points. That's is most likely the longest book any of them have read!

This would be a big help when sharing videos in class.
I'm in a portable and we don't have a speaker system at all. It would be great for when I'm sharing video clips and kids are doing Read to Someone
I would love to play soothing music while they're working!

This speaker would be perfect for calming music throughout the day and even for GoNoodle!

I play classical musical as the children are working. These speakers will be a wonderful addition to the classroom.
Our new computers don't have speakers that we can hear so this would be a welcome addition to my class and I would use it with my Promethean board too!
Pandora in classroom!
My comment isn't showing… but I would love to use this in my classroom with Dojo!
I would use it for our brain break dance parties!

This would sure beat the Wal-Mart cheapies in my classroom! Thanks for the opportunity!

Oh my gosh – for all our GoNoddle fun!!
Big help with our transitions!
This would be cool to have!
I'd use this on Fridays when we Boogie to the Bus.
I would use this everyday when my kiddos are reading independently!!!
I always play music quietly while they are independently working. I would LOVE to win this!

Wow this is great! I use music when it is time to clean up and meet on the carpet.
I would use this for my music and movement sessions and it would especially helpful with my outdoor games. Would love a little portable speaker!
Thanks For sharing this product!
I would use this during writer's workshop for quiet working music and for my movement breaks between activities!
I would use it to play music and sound for videos.
I currently have a set of wired speakers in my classroom. A wireless speaker would expand my options and make it easier to play other audio for my students without have to unplug and plug in again.
I would, of course, use it in my classroom. But I also teach a women's exercise class for those who need low-impact workouts. My laptop speaker is just not powerful enough!
I am currently using this rubber horn thing to attach to my phone to play the clean up song during all 5 rotations. The kids can never hear it so I have to walk around the room instead of setting up for the next group at the teacher table. I think I really need this!
Thank you so much for this chance… I can use a lot more tech in my classroom! What an absolutely fabulous way to bring more technology into schools!
This would be great for when my students are listening to a book together on the Hooked on Phonics App. No more sharing ear buds!
This would be great to use as a brain break dance party!
These speakers would be great to use in the classroom, and for when we practice for First Communion at mass. Right now we listen real hard at church to hear the song start 🙂

I would love a new speaker for my classroom because the ones I have have most certainly seen better days!
Speakers? What are they? We are lucky to have computers! I would love a speaker.
What an incredible give away! I'd love to be able to travel into classrooms with just this speaker and my phone!
This would be great for when we do brain breaks!
I play music a lot of the day but would love to be able to move the speakers around the room. This would be perfect
I've been looking for a speaker because the one on my laptop is horrible! I have a hearing impaired student who can't hear when I play a video because of my poor speakers (the rest of the kids struggle too). This would be perfect!
I teach ESL students grade 3-6. Around Thanksgiving break, our in-class sound system broke. This has put quite a damper on class activities and has strongly impacted the learning of my auditory learners.
If I won the portable speaker, I could restart my audio book read along club, along with playing English pop songs for my students!
I would use it to enhance our sound. Lots of times I show videos on the whiteboard, and the kiddos can't really hear the sound very well. This would be wonderful!
I'd love to use this so I can play Pandora from my phone!
Thanks,
Kristen
I play music all day long! It would be so much easier to stream vs changing CDs all day.
Thanks for the chance!
I would use the speaker all the time! Morning work, group work, brain breaks, inside recess and soon much more!!!
It looks awesome! If be able to play music for the kids at school and have fun at home (and during football season)! 🙂
This would be perfect to use with my Smartboard! The speakers do not always work 100% of the time so I would definitely use it with that! Thanks so much!
My class loves dancing to GoNoodle and listening to Pandora during writing time. This speaker would make it amazing 🙂
I would use it during morning work, indoor recess, and at home!! 🙂
I would use it to bring music into my classroom in an up to date way (I still use a CD player)! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

I plan to use for background music while students are working.
It would help me to incorporate a variety of music into my classroom quite easily despite the fact that I don't have a CD drive on my school laptop.
Right now I share my speakers with another teacher. Plus, they plug into the wall and the cord is about 6 feet of hazardous walking space! I would love this!
