Friends of Teacher Tableteers may want to consider submitting their names and description of their innovative uses of digital ink and Tablet PCs for the ING Unsung Heroes award competition. These awards are given to K-12 educators pioneering new teaching methods and techniques that improve learning.
Each year, 100 finalists are selected to receive a $2,000 award, payable to both the winning teacher and his or her school. At least one award is granted in each of the 50 states, provided at least one qualified application was received from each state. Winners are selected by Scholarship America. The deadline for the 2006 application is May 1, 2006. Winners are announced in the fall.
