Back in March I posted that I was a finalist for the cable industry’s Leaders in Learning Awards. Last Wednesday I was officially named a winner. I spent four days in Washington, DC schmoozing with my Congressional representatives, media bigwigs, and cable executives. It was a very surreal experience in many ways. We college professors don’t usually get to hobnob with the rich and famous.
Anyway, I had a blast meeting the other award recipients and appreciated the recognition of the work my co-director, Dr. Joan Hughes, and I are doing at CASTLE. Here are a few items that may be of interest:
- 2007 Leaders in Learning select pictures
- Our agenda for the week
- My press release
- My video during the awards ceremony (coming soon, I hope)
- Cable industry video (now airing on local cable channels)
- eSchoolNews TechWatch
- Info on the other winners
- Info on Leaders in Learning
If you’re doing interesting things related to technology and/or cable, I encourage you to apply next year. It was a great experience. Thanks, Cable in the Classroom and Comcast!
Congratulations, Scott. We can say we knew you when!

Congratulations. It's well deserved.
Your blog has been invaluable resource to me. As I take educational leadership courses I often wish I was living in your neck-of-the-woods and taking the classes that you offer.
Know that what you put in your blog is being put into action on a daily basis.
Keep up the great work and thank you for all that you do.
