The John Lunt Friend of Technology Award

The John Lunt Friend of Technology AwardI was extremely honored to be one of three chosen to be recognized with the John Lunt Friend of Technology Award at the ACTEM Conference this year. The award was established by ACTEM in 2006 as a way to recognize individuals that have made a significant contribution to education and technology in Maine.  

It is named after John Lunt - one of the founding members of ACTEM.  John served as president of ACTEM for six years and also chaired our annual MAINEducation conference for over ten years.  

John Lunt and former Governor Angus King were the first recipients of the Friend of Technology award in 2006. 

Here's the article.

A blast from the past

I listened to Davis Truss' session today on Inquiry Learning at Classroom 2.0. He was using some graphics called Digital Footprints in his presentation. It reminded me of his K-12 presentation from last year. If you haven't checked out K-12 Online Conference, this years pre conference keynote starts on October 15th.
