<title>Tweet about a favorite teacher, get $50 (or more) for Mediabistro courses</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-14967" title="Teachers are the best" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/10000words/files/2012/08/Screen-shot-2012-08-20-at-9.32.03-AM-300x204.png" alt="" width="300" height="204" />It’s back-to-school season, and because <a href="http://mediabistro.com?c=mbblpost10w">Mediabistro</a>’s core is education, the site has a timely contest this week that just involves telling the Twittersphere about a favorite teacher. Why’s that worthy of a post here? Well, <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/stanley-koba-is-barnes-nobles-teacher-of-the-year_b51005?c=mbblpost10w">teachers rock</a>, but so does<a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/fwd/aug2012/?c=mbblpost10w"> the contest</a>&#8211; one tweet and you get $50 credit towards a course class useful for your digital storytelling.</p>
<p>So you win. Automatically. And can learn more stuff.</p>
<p>Also, if your tweet is the best, you get an entirely <em>free</em> course. In-person or online.</p>
<p>Anyone with a Twitter account who participates with a 140 character or less story about a teacher gets a $50 credit toward <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/courses/?c=mbblpost10w">any Mediabistro course</a> (they’ll DM you the promo code, which means you need to follow <a href="https://twitter.com/mediabistro?c=mbblpost10w">@Mediabistro</a>, too). The top five best tweets get $100 credit toward any Mediabistro course. And again, the winner gets a free Mediabistro course. <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/10000words/tweet-about-a-favorite-teacher-get-50-or-more-for-mediabistro-courses_b14957#more-14957" class="more-link">continued&#8230;</a></p>
