Teaching Award
The Faculty Teaching and Learning Center on my campus gives out two major teaching awards each year. One of the awards recognizes teaching with technology. All full time and part time faculty are eligible for the award. I was fortunate enough to be nominated for the award this year back in October. In December, I learned that I was a finalist for the award. Yesterday my Dean called me to her office. Naturally, I immediately tried to figure out what I had screwed up. ;~)
Come to find out, I was chosen as the winner of the Pew Teaching with Technology Award for 2006. I will be formally recognized in March at the Teaching & Learning with Technology Fair where I will also set up a little booth to share some of the strategies I use for integrating technology into my teaching. What exciting times. Hooray!

Congrats, Sean! That’s a great honor. It’s wonderful to see that people appreciate a tech-loving teacher. Maybe there’s some hope for me someday. Ha!

Thanks Rob.
Of course there’s hope for you. Personally, I think the things you do in high school are more impressive than what I am doing given the limited resources you have to work with. It’s also nice to see that you’ve branched out with your video capturing and editing services to make some extra $$$.
And, regarding the comment on your blog about MACUL . . . If you had submitted a proposal and had it accepted, then your conference registration would have been free. Unfortunately, your district would still have had to hire a sub for you that day. And, if you join MACUL, i could nominate you for their K-12 teaching with technology award (hint, hint). ;~)
