Leaders in Learning

Back in March I posted that I was a finalist for the cable industry’s Leaders in Learning Awards. Last Wednesday I was officially named a winner. I spent four days in Washington, DC schmoozing with my Congressional representatives, media bigwigs, and cable executives. It was a very surreal experience in many ways. We college professors don’t usually get to hobnob with the rich and famous.

Anyway, I had a blast meeting the other award recipients and appreciated the recognition of the work my co-director, Dr. Joan Hughes, and I are doing at CASTLE. Here are a few items that may be of interest:

• 2007 Leaders in Learning select pictures
• Our agenda for the week
• My press release
• My video during the awards ceremony (coming soon, I hope)
• Cable industry video (now airing on local cable channels)
• eSchoolNews TechWatch
• Info on the other winners
• Info on Leaders in Learning

If you’re doing interesting things related to technology and/or cable, I encourage you to apply next year. It was a great experience. Thanks, Cable in the Classroom and Comcast!
