Celebrate Innovation

Do you know someone in your backyard that’s an innovative educator? Someone who deserves recognition for thinking creatively with regards to using technology in instruction?

VSTE is now accepting nominations for the Innovative Educator of the Year. This recognition is part of the charter of the VSTE Innovations Committee.

Our aim is to highlight and recognize innovative educational practices—especially those that champion the smart integration of technology. Entries will be reviewed by the Innovations Committee, made up of board members of the Society.

The window for submitting nominations is September 15-October 15, 2011.

Nominees should be members of VSTE, and can be from schools both public and private, can be advocates for education, and faculty and staff of higher education institutions.

Winners of all VSTE awards will be announced on November 1, 2011 and will be recognized at our annual conference, this December, in Roanoke, Virginia.
