Raffle Winners

Special Entry for Grand Prize:

To be entered into the Grand Prize drawing, we are asking members to submit stories about their ISTE, NECC, and/or Ed Tech experiences. This year marks the 30th anniversary for the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and ISTE’s conference, the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC).  We’re celebrating this milestone  by honoring the past, celebrating the present, and envisioning the future.

To archive the personal experiences of learning, discovery and growth of the last 30 years in Ed Tech, we encourage you to submit an online story of classroom success, integration, and discovery here, or to submit your stories of student impact in video format here. For tips, information, and ideas on digital storytelling at a special wiki set up in ISTE’s digital storytelling Special Interest Group.

All other prize drawing prizes will be from ISTE’s general membership list, but you can only enter the Grand Prize drawing by entering a story; either text or video. By participating this way, you not only provide a powerful testament to the power of educational technology making a difference, but you also have a great chance of winning a fabulous prize! (odds based on number of qualifying entries)

In addition to the drawings, ISTE extends our appreciation to members through these special offers:
