We are always excited to hear when past and current students in our program have been recognized for their accomplishments. This quarter we have several former and current students that we would like to recognize.

First Chad Casciani, 2007 graduate of the Master’s in Educational Technology program in Plymouth, England, was awarded the 2009 District Teacher of the Year by DoDDS Korea. To read more about the award and Chad’s accomplishments you can visit Teacher of the Year announcement.

In addition several of our former Certificate and/or Masters students were recent finalist in the Walter P. Chrysler “Closing the Technology Gap in Education” awards. They include Erik Cliff, Mary Lou Krause, Linda Mondol, Merdee Vaughan, Barbara Morely and Emily Parker Pohlonski. The awards, sponsored by The Chrysler Foundation in partnership with the Detroit Science Center, go to public school educators who have taken extra steps to stimulate students in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math to pursue careers in technical and scientific fields. To read more about the awards you can visit Chrysler Foundation Awards.

Congratulations to all of you for your hard work and dedication to the teaching profession. We are happy to see your hard work paying off.

If you are a current or former student to our program and have recently been recognized for your accomplishments we would love to hear about it and feature you in an upcoming issue. Contact us at edutech@msu.edu.
