About the NomineeBrief Comments - What other facts should we know? ( MAX 500 characters) I worked with Don Goble at the Apple Conference in 2011. I can't think of any educator who has inspired me more to become a better teacher and innovator in my high school classes. Don lead our digital video team at the conference - he not only had a clear vision for our work - but he was also a tireless worker when it came to the hours and hours of video editing that we did. Don was a great listener - most important he brought out the best in all of us. Following the conference, Don and I have kept in touch - he was one of the first guests on the iDig Video podcast that Jim Crawford and I do for EdReach. In teaching digital media in my classroom at Amity High School in Connecticut, I find myself constantly referencing Don's online posts as well as his website. He always makes time to work with other educators. If I had to put together a team of educators to work on or create a lesson plan, a district media blueprint or a presentation on an emerging technology - Don would be the first person I'd want to work with.

About the NomineeBrief Comments - What other facts should we know? ( MAX 500 characters) Don is an amazing educator and incredibly collaborative. I was with him at a summer institute and he was so selfless with his time, helping me with my learning needs over working on his own project (but he of course got both done). He is inspiring and an overall great guy!

About the NomineeBrief Comments - What other facts should we know? ( MAX 500 characters) Don is always willing to be helpful to his fellow educators. Although he had a game to coach immediately following his Keynote for the SET Connections SPUN Conference he freely gave of his Saturday morning to share his wisdom with educators. I am grateful to him for impacting educators every day and am proud to call him a colleague and a friend.
