Awards of Excellence
Celebrating 20 Years of Excellence in Education Technology
By Kristen Kennedy and Iris Obille Lafferty, Ed.D.
T&L is honored to present this year's winning software and Web products.
Now celebrating its 20th year, Technology & Learning's Awards of Excellence program continues its long tradition of recognizing achievement and innovation in education technology. We were there to watch as the Internet took its first steps into the K-12 classroom and to envision a not-so-distant future when high-powered computing would literally be in the palms of students' hands. We're here to see the impact of Web-based technologies on global communication, and more specifically, on the way students learn and evaluate the seemingly endless supply of information now available to them. Along the way, we've kept you up to date on the most promising software and Web programs for the classroom.
This year, more than 25 teacher-judges chose 27 winners from 115 software and Web-based products. The selection of two guidance programs as top winners-each designed to help kids make sense of the violence they see and experience in the media and at school-says a lot about what's on the minds of teachers who returned to classrooms this fall looking for a way to guide their students' understanding of the events of September 11th. And with educators eager to deliver more and better instruction in core curriculum areas to meet the demands of No Child Left Behind, science and language arts offerings garnered the most winning votes. There's certainly something for everyone here, as judges' selections represent a full spectrum of award-winning curriculum and administrative programs.
Join us in congratulating the 27 winners of the 2002 Technology & Learning Awards of Excellence.
