I am delighted to announce that I am to receive the IEEE Computer Society Award for Distinguished Service in a Pre-College Environment. I was nominated by Dr Andy Hatch from Durham University, Ollie Bray and Doug Belshaw must have said something nice as well to support the nomination.

Dr Thomas Conte contacted me with the news today and according to the initial announcement it is:

For inspired leadership and dedication in promoting the use of modern technology in education both locally and internationally.

Many thanks to you all for supporting all of the projects and ideas I have shared over the last few years and being part of a generous and talented network of professionals. I also want to thank my Mum… 🙂

  3. Congratulations! It may interest you to know that I, waaaay over here in Sydney Aust, am inspired by the work you do and it is informing my preliminary research into online resources (although in a different subject area – community music). Thankyou for sharing your ideas, and other people’s ideas and experiences.

  4. Very well done. So deserved. I can honestly say I’ve never read a tweet, blog post or resource idea that I didn’t like. So I, too, want to thank your mum for her part in improving my practice at school……. 🙂 🙂
