Hi, everyone! My scoops for this week are all about accolades! Read on to see who is in the limelight….
Woo hoo!
The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), in partnership with EdScoop, recently announced the creation of a K-12 EdTech Time Capsule. They have now revealed the time capsule contents, the culmination of a national crowdsourcing project that sought to identify the top 25 products, people, and developments that transformed education through technology over the last 25 years.
The time capsule recognizes nine innovators and 16 innovations, with a handful of others included as honorable mentions. The winning individuals span lawmakers, educators, academics, and founders. CoSN and EdScoop asked education and technology leaders across the country o nominate recommendations in August and then to vote in October for their top choices. The highest vote-getters are now enshrined in the virtual time capsule. The EdTech Time Capsule will live permanently on the CoSN and EdScoop websites. CoSN will pay tribute to the winning selections at its annual conference in March 2018 and at other events.
