ABOUT THE AWARDS

Since 2000, European Schoolnet has been running the eLearning Awards to recognise the people and schools that provide some of the finest examples of ICT innovation and impact on children’s learning.

The objective of this competition is to identify and highlight best practice examples in schools that make good pedagogical use of ICT. Many teachers use their technical and creative skills to find new and innovative ways of teaching and learning based on the use of new technologies, but often their work is not known outside a small circle. The eLearning Awards provide a platform to share successes and learn from each other. Here teachers can show to a wider audience how ICT helps improve their methodology, makes their daily life in teaching easier and also enriches their work in the classroom. All entries are visible through the eLearning Awards portal, arranged country by country, so it is easy to look at inspiring work from around Europe.

The eLearning Awards 2007 are organised by European Schoolnet, with the support of Young Young Digital Planet (Platinum sponsor), Intel, Interwrite Learning, Promethean, SMART Technologies (Gold sponsors), Apple, MICHAEL (Silver sponsor), Adobe, Belgacom, Microsoft, SIVECO Romania, Telefónica O2 and UPC (Bronze sponsor).

In the last six years, the winners were invited to prize-giving ceremonies at the EMINENT conference in Lisbon, Stockholm, Geneva, Prague, Paris and Bruges. The EMINENT conference is the major European event which brings together senior ICT policy makers from EUN Ministries, participants from national school portals and networks, leading researchers, innovative teachers and leading eLearning suppliers from the commercial sector.

The eLearning Awards have attracted thousands of entries from schools in over 40 countries in Europe since their inception.
