I am forwarding another email in hopes that those who want to take advantage
of opportunities related to technology will do so. Many of you know about
and some may have even received one of these National Semiconductor Awards.
Jim Moulton forwarded this one and is encouraging school librarians to
apply.

=====================
We're happy to announce that the Web site for the 2002-2003 awards programs
is now up and running. This year, we're excited to present two
opportunities for educators to receive awards for the creative,
Internet-based lesson plans that they develop for their classrooms.
- Innovative Idea Grants: The new Innovative Idea Grants program is designed
for educators who have great lesson plan ideas for their classroom but need
additional funding to bring them to fruition. Applicants, or groups of
applicants, can receive between $2,500 and $8,000 for the
collaborative-based projects they develop and onsite consultation from an
expert educator. Winning applicants also have the opportunity to win an
additional personal award of $1,000 based upon the successful implementation
of their project in the classroom. The deadline for this program is Sunday,
April 6th, 2003.
- Internet Innovator Awards: The Internet Innovator Awards program is back
again this year, rewarding educators for the creative, Internet-rich lesson
plans that they develop and implement in the classroom. Educators have the
opportunity to win $10,000 for their creative projects and a free Global
Connections: Making the Most of the Internet in Your Classroom course for
their school. The deadline for this program is Sunday, July 6th, 2003.
We encourage you to visit our Web site, www.nsawards.com, to review the
official rules, eligibility criteria and online applications for these
programs. We will schedule online chats and onsite workshops this spring to
answer questions you may have about each program and to offer tips and
suggestions on how to create an award-winning project application. In the
meantime, if you have any questions about the programs, please don't
hesitate to contact us.
