Hoonuit Invites Teachers to Become Learning Ambassadors
Hoonuit,
a company that provides professional development content and data
analytics software, has invited teachers to apply for membership in its
Learning Ambassador program. The announcement was made at the ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) conference in San Antonio, TX.
According
to the company, the purpose of the program is "to a build a community
of educators who will collaborate and grow through the support and
mentorship of fellow members." Interested teachers can apply for the
program through an online application form, which includes questions
about previous experience making presentations, topics presented and
conferences where topics were presented.
Educators who are
selected for the program will have the opportunity to explore and
discuss topics of interest and learn about new technologies and
teaching strategies. During a teacher's time as a Learning Ambassador,
Hoonuit (pronounced "who-knew-it") will highlight some of their
presentations, shared resources, blog posts and other contributions.
The idea is to expand a professional learning network where teachers
are continuously developing and sharing their knowledge.
“Collaboration
is a central part of education – we want to serve as a mechanism to
encourage educators from various subject areas and experience levels to
apply and engage with the community around them," said Paul Hesser, CEO
of Hoonuit, in a prepared statement.
Further information about
the Learning Ambassador program is available at booth 3441 at ISTE.
Interested teachers can complete the online application form.
