I wrote the following to my Wrinkles group last week:

“J. H. House is a finalist in the category of Technology Innovation by an Educational Institution for the AeA’s (American Electronics Association) Southeast Spirit of Endeavor Awards. I have a good friend in the weblogging world. His name is Jim Flowers. He emailed me a few weeks ago and said that I really should answer the 4 questions they were asking schools to submit in order to be considered for this honor. Jim Flowers thinks the weblogging work you students do is really good. He thought of us right away for this. I sent in the answers to Jim,who then nominated us for this award. Here’s a peek at the award….cool! The awards will be presented next week at a banquet in the Egyptian Ballroom of the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia.”

The banquet is tonight and I will be going with 3 other wonderful J.H. House educators - the principal, the assistant principal, and the teacher who shares some of her wonderful students with me when I work with them on weblogs. Jim will be there, of course. When I looked at the competition for the Technology Innovation award, I gulped.
