The 2011 U.S. Innovative Education Forum celebrates outstanding educators and schools using technology to positively impact student learning.
Show how you are engaging students in problem-solving, inspiring their creativity, and preparing them for life ahead, and you could be selected to attend the IEF event in Redmond, Washington, on July 28–29, 2011. Winners there will proceed to the 2011 Worldwide Innovative Education Forum in Washington, D.C., in November.
If your project is chosen, there is no fee to attend, and travel expenses for the events are supported by Microsoft. The deadline to apply is May 15, 2011.
Another fun option for entry is to create a video highlighting your project and its impact on student learning and submit it along with the application. They'll put it on the Microsoft edu YouTube channel, and the two videos receiving the most “Likes” will automatically be accepted to the U.S. IEF event.
