"Education is in the digital age, and technology is no longer a luxury, but a critical learning tool," said Geoff Fletcher, education industry expert and a Collaboration Nation judge. "More than ever, the long-term success of technology-driven projects requires that we bring together all departments - IT, curriculum, instruction and administration - and Collaboration Nation will recognize the schools and districts that have put in the hard work to make this happen." From March 2 - June 30, 2015, schools and districts are invited to submit a nomination and short video at www.eschoolnews.com/collaboration. With a focus on cross-department collaboration, the winning school or district's nomination and video will demonstrate exemplary educational technology collaboration and how the project had a measurable impact on learning and teaching. A distinguished four-judge panel, outlined below, will review all entries:
Schools and districts are also encouraged to be a part of the Collaboration Nation community on Facebook by sharing videos of collaboration successes. Each month (April, May and June), the school or district video that has the most shares on Facebook (News - Alert) will win a $15,000 prize in products from Collaboration Nation partners such as HP, Lenovo or Meraki.
