Exciting news from the folks at EdReach and CUE (Computer-Using Educators). They have just announced they will be launching the EduWin awards to recognize and celebrate awesome moments in education. The winners will be recognized at the annual CUE conference next March. Here is the press release for the details!
Chicago, IL | Walnut Creek, CA - EdReach.us and CUE announce the formation of The #EduWin Awards. The #EduWin Awards piggy-back off the grass-roots movement where teachers hand out Edu- “Wins” online through Twitter and other social media. What is an #EduWin? An #EduWin is a recognition of something fantastic happening in education. Teachers and administrators often share great moments on Twitter using the #EduWin hashtag or at www.whatisyoureduwin.com.
Starting in October, by going to www.eduwin.org, anyone can nominate an educator, a parent, a student, a citizen, or a proprietor. The #EduWin Awards board will decide five (5) monthly winners. Those winners will have the chance to be recognized at the Annual CUE Conference, March 20-22, 2014 in Palm Springs, Calif.
“CUE has always been a fan of celebrating educational achievements both big and small,” Mike Lawrence, Executive Director of CUE shared, “We’re proud to be involved in celebrating these through The #EduWin Awards and look forward to the outstanding stories that will follow.”

James Gubbins, of the podcast #Eduwin Weekly, said, “We are so thrilled to continue to help move the #EduWin movement forward! The #EduWin Awards will enable an even larger and wider forum to celebrate educational victories and to learn more about the stories behind them.”
The motivation for #EduWin came from educators and administrators reacting to all the negativity in the media about education. There are amazing things happening in teaching every day, but not enough people hear those stories. #EduWin was created to bring the focus back to the students and to the positive impact teachers can have on students’ lives. With The #EduWin Awards, this is, perhaps, a chance to recognize education in the most authentic way possible: through the eyes of educators.
