THE Journal's 2008 Innovators
A MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER used grant money to fund a weekly student news broadcast. A
technology director created video booths to reveal to teachers where their math instruction was
falling short. A young, tech-savvy educator introduced a professional development program in
which student teachers model technology integration for their host teachers. These are but a
small sample of the diverse, imaginative projects that our 2008 class of Innovators developed and
implemented over the past year to use technology to further academic goals and provide 21stcentury
educational opportunities for K-12 students. We hope you will find in their efforts--
selected from the 122 entries we received for our annual honor-- inspiration for what your
schools and districts can do in 2009.
