Announcing The 2010 Totally Wired Teacher Award Provided By Dell
Posted by anastasia on 03-19-2010
We’re incredibly excited to be teaming up once again with Dell’s Edu4U community and Ypulse Youth Marketing Mashup advisory board member Derek Baird for The 2010 Totally Wired Teacher Award to be presented at this year’s Mashup event. The application is now LIVE so help us spread the word to teachers you think should apply. Here’s a quick FAQ about this year’s process…
What is the Totally Wired Teacher Award?
The Totally Wired Teacher Award is inspired by Ypulse.com founder Anastasia Goodstein’s book, Totally Wired: What Teens & Tweens Are Really Doing Online, and the challenges she observed when teachers tried to integrate technology into their public school classrooms.
The goal of the award is to recognize a teacher who has overcome these challenges and is inspiring to both students and other educators.
Are there any other sponsors?
The Totally Wired Teacher Award, provided by Dell, 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.
Dell’s Edu4U Site provides information and resources to help educators harness the power of technology to enhance teaching and learning for all students.

Who Can Apply?
To enter, you must be a U.S. public school classroom teacher (general subjects only, grades 3‐12). The deadline for submitting applications is May 3rd at 5 p.m. PST.
What do I win?
Ypulse and Dell will choose this year’s Totally Wired Teacher to be honored in person at the Ypulse Youth Marketing Mashup May 24th in San Francisco.
What’s different this year vs. last year?
This year we are asking teachers to apply vs. either self nominating or being nominated by colleagues or students. In the spirit of generating great ideas other teachers can use through this application process, we are asking applicants to upload a 60-second video tip or advice you would like to share with other educators related to integrating technology into the classroom. These will be judged on the content of what you’re saying only, not production value, and should just be you speaking to the camera vs. using any special effects. Just look into a camera or webcam, share your tip and upload! Please note: Select videos will be posted on the Dell Edu4U website and on Ypulse.com. In order to upload your video, you must join Vimeo first, then upload your video to the Totally Wired Teacher Award Group: http://vimeo.com/groups/totallywiredteacher.
Good luck!
