I got the word on Wednesday that I’ve been selected as an Apple Distinguished Educator for 2005. I’ll be heading out to Apple HQ in Cupertino in July for a week of professional development and will probably have opportunities to represent Apple at a few conferences here and there. I feel very fortunate to be selected because I know there are so many educators doing fantastic work with technology. With any luck, being an ADE will give me a chance to spread the word about blogs, wikis, open source, and all the other interesting technology I’m fortunate enough to get paid to work with every day.
