Kleptomaniac by Quin, Kyle and Hayden, a winner of our 2014 contest.

We’ve been publishing a Word of the Day every school day since our blog began, and in 2013, just as we were about to hit 1,000 words, we announced our first Vocabulary Video Contest.

We liked the results so much that we brought it back in 2014, and now, for a third time, in 2016.

So, along with our annual collaborators for Word of the Day — thelinguists who run Vocabulary.com — we invite you to create a short video that defines or teaches any of the words in our collection, which now nearly 1,500 words strong.

You have until Feb. 23 at 7 a.m. Eastern time to enter. All the rules and regulations, plus some inspiration from past winners, are below.

As we like to remind you each year: Tenacity + a desire to edify + anenterprising nature – sloth = a beguiling result.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
