ISTE Connects - Educational Technology » scholarship http://www.isteconnects.org Celebrating 30 Years of Ed Tech Vision Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:33:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 en hourly 1 Attend NECC for free on ISTE! http://www.isteconnects.org/2009/02/09/attend-necc-for-free-on-iste/ http://www.isteconnects.org/2009/02/09/attend-necc-for-free-on-iste/#comments Mon, 09 Feb 2009 05:44:03 +0000 Wes Fryer http://www.isteconnects.org/?p=920 Last week I highlighted an opportunity to win a free trip to NECC from NetTrekker. This week I’d like to share another way educators can win a free NECC trip, this time by submitting a digital story to ISTE. The official guidelines explain:

To be entered into the Grand Prize drawing, we are asking members to submit stories about their ISTE, NECC, and/or Ed Tech experiences. This year marks the 30th anniversary for the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and ISTE’s conference, the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC). We’re celebrating this milestone by honoring the past, celebrating the present, and envisioning the future.

To archive the personal experiences of learning, discovery and growth of the last 30 years in Ed Tech, we encourage you to submit an online story of classroom success, integration, and discovery here, or to submit your stories of student impact in video format here. For tips, information, and ideas on digital storytelling at a special wiki set up in ISTE’s digital storytelling Special Interest Group.

If you are aware of other opportunities for educators to win a free trip to NECC this summer please let me know, and I’ll share them here on ISTEconnects!

Anyone who is a “current netTrekker d.i. subscriber” can apply to win, by submitting “a project for students using 21st Century Skills designed in My Portfolio” of netTrekker. Entries are due by April 15, 2009.

Hat tip to Tenth Muse for the heads-up on this NECC scholarship opportunity.

Do you know of other organizations offering scholarships for educators to attend NECC this year?
