Kay L. Bitter Vision Award for Excellence in Technology-Based PK–2 Education

Award

The educator selected to receive this award will be:

Honored at the ISTE's National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) in San Antonio, Texas, June 29—July 2, 2008.
Presented with a $500 scholarship to be used for the recipient's program or own continued professional development and a plaque recognizing the recipient's outstanding achievement.
Featured in ISTE publications and in press releases provided to local media and on the Web site.

This award is given in memory of Kay L. Bitter (1943–2001). Kay was involved in Early Childhood Education for more than 20 years. She had a passion for teaching, always inspiring her young students by engaging them in exciting learning activities. She was truly a cutting-edge professional who was extremely effective in bringing technology into her classroom on a daily basis.

This award has been established through generous donations sent in Kay's memory to her husband, Gary Bitter. Gary's commitment to ISTE includes serving on ISTE's Board of Directors and on the National Educational Technology Standards Leadership Team.
