Kudos from Qatar

I'm thrilled to report that my student news collaboration has been shortlisted for the 2009 World Innovation Summit for Education award in the Innovation category. It's quite a coup for us, as that category turned out to be the most competitive, with 226 entries. The winner will be announced September 30.

This is a post born of frustration. Every year a very smart and progressive educator named Alan November hosts a conference in the Boston area for teachers and administrators to share ideas about ways to engage students in learning. It's an amazing week. It's called "Building Learning Communities." I went last year, but am stuck here in DC this year following it on Twitter, which is a big tease. Sigh.

Here's Alan November at the recent NECC conference. He says some very complimentary things about my Student News Action Network project around minute 36.
