Fingal, Diana
Learning & Leading with Technology, v40 n3 p12-16 Nov 2012
In the impassioned debate about school reform, there is one point that all sides agree on: Classroom teachers have a huge impact on student success. Great teachers don't just teach. They inspire, they captivate, and they motivate their students to create, investigate, solve, and continue learning long after their school years are over. This article presents the award-winning International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) educators for 2012 and shares what makes them great. They are: (1) Outstanding Teacher: Matt Cauthron, digital arts instructor, Palm Springs Unified School District, Cathedral City, California, USA; (2) Outstanding Leader: Alice Owen, division director of technology, Irving Independent School District, Irving, Texas, USA; (3) Outstanding Young Educator: Caroline Haebig, social studies educator, Bradford High School, Kenosha Unified School District, Wisconsin, USA; and (4) Kay L. Bitter Award for Excellence in Technology-Based PK-2 Education: Jennifer Orr, first grade teacher, Annandale Terrace Elementary School, Annandale, Virginia, USA.
