Thanks to everyone who entered!
Are your students developing creative, exciting curriculum-based multimedia, desktop publishing, computer programming/animation projects? If so, get involved with the VSTE STIC and let your students be recognized for their work at the VSTE Annual Conference! We are hoping for our best response ever…we know you are integrating technology in unique educational ways so take the opportunity to share with others and be entered for some great prizes! These do not have to be over the top entries; just ideas that others would find useful and maybe would want to try with their own students.
Student winners and their sponsoring teacher from each grade level category will receive a prize that will be awarded at the VSTE conference during an afternoon ceremony on Sunday, December 8, 2013.
Be sure to share the flyer with others who might be interested:
