New York, NY (PRWEB) May 4, 2009 -- Ypulse, the leading media platform for youth media and marketing professionals, in partnership with Modern Media, today announced that the recipient of the 2009 Totally Wired Teacher Award will be honored at this year's Ypulse Youth Marketing Mashup June 1-2 in San Francisco. The "2009 Totally Wired Teacher" award is underwritten by Dell.
"The Totally Wired Teacher Award is inspired by my book, Totally Wired: What Teens & Tweens Are Really Doing Online, and the challenges that I saw when teachers tried to integrate technology into their public school classrooms," said Anastasia Goodstein, Ypulse's founder. "We will recognize a teacher who has overcome these challenges and is inspiring to both students and other educators."
The Totally Wired Teacher Award recognizes teachers who are harnessing technology to help students collaborate, learn and achieve. Dell's support for this initiative is part of a longstanding commitment to supporting educators who lead by example, demonstrating for students the power of technology to enhance learning and achievement.
Complete details for how to nominate a teacher, or if you're a teacher, how to nominate yourself, can be found at mashup.ypulse.com. The deadline for nominations is May 15th at 5 p.m. PST. To enter, you must be a U.S. public school classroom teacher (grades 3-12). Ypulse will select three finalists and choose this year's Totally Wired Teacher to be honored in person at the Ypulse Mashup. All three finalists will receive an IT solution from Dell to use in their respective schools.
