Opportunity for Innovative Educators to Get Recognized as Expert Evaluators in Tech & Learning Magazine

Tech & Learning has an opportunity for teachers to be recognized as expert evaluators of products that might be of interest to other innovative educators. Qualified candidates (if you’re reading this blog, that’s you!) will be selected to evaluate products for its annual Awards of Excellence. This will be a piece of cake for innovative educators who are already using many of these products. This is an opportunity to share what you know about the products you love (or do not love) by evaluating at least five of the products mentioned below by October 5. Evaluation criteria include the following: quality and effectiveness, ease of use, creative use of technology, and suitability for use in an educational environment. Each product will take 30 – 60 minutes to evaluate and results are submitted here.

Judges will be recognized in the December Awards issue of Tech & Learning. They will also receive a free subscription to the magazine and will be entered in a drawing to win an all-day pass to the New York Tech Forum. To become an evaluator simply email cweiser@nbmedia.com with “Awards of Excellence Evaluation Candidate” in the subject line. Share that you are a reader of this blog in the body of your email.
