National Technology Leadership Initiative Fellowships

Awards

Since fall 2000, SITE has been collaborating with four teacher education associations representing the content areas of mathematics, science, English language arts, and social studies education through the National Technology Leadership Initiative (NTLI). The NTLI Fellowship was established to recognize an exemplary presentation on technology at the annual conferences of each of these organizations. The purpose of the NTLI Fellowship is to encourage further dialog among professional associations regarding appropriate technology use in teacher education. Each year NTLI Fellows are invited to present at a two-hour symposium at SITE and attend an awards luncheon in their honor. They receive an award plaque, complementary conference registration, and funds to help defray travel expenses.

CITE/JTATE Technology Leadership Awards

In 2003, SITE’s online journal, Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE), offered its first round of Technology Leadership Awards to recognize exemplary technology use in teacher preparation. Nominees each submitted a three-page description of their innovative technology use, as well as online resources and student work samples. In 2004, SITE’s print publication, Journal of Technology and Teacher Education (JTATE), joined CITE Journal in sponsoring the awards.
