Awarding Innovation: Awards were offered to the top three presentations, although choosing winners was a tough decision for the judges, because of the excellent scope and caliber of all of the projects. Presentations were judged on the basis of innovative and creative use of technology, clarity of purpose and relationship to teaching and learning, evidence of evaluation of the project's success, and possible application for others. The presenters and their departments will receive bonus funds to help support the use of technology in their teaching--half for the presenter to use and half for the supporting department or program. The Judges: Dr. Cheryl Murphy, Associate Professor, Educational
Technology, UAF. Dr. Murphy has her doctoral degree in Educational
