Steve is a wonderful person to be nominated for this award. He's been such a helpful resource to so many in education.

I'm honored to support Gwyneth. We've been friends for a few years but recently met face to face at Michigan's Technology Conference. She is such a wealth of knowledge and an inspiration to all in education. I'm glad to have her as a part of my PLN.

Kim is a wonderful professional who is certainly deserving of this award. She's an instrumental leader in Michigan sharing resources, tools, and advice. I'm lucky to have her in my network!

Kelly is one of the nicest and most wonderful people I know in the blogging and education community. She is so helpful and generous with sharing her time, resources, and ideas. Wonderful nomination!

Ashlie Smith and I have been collaborating over the past year and connecting her middle school classroom with my elementary learners. She's such an innovative and creative teacher. I'm honored to nominate her for this award.

Ashlie considers herself a learner just as much as an educator. She continues to seek new professional development opportunities, network with other colleagues, and connect with teachers across her state. She even went to visit the state's technology teacher of the year's classroom on her own spring break - just to expand her own horizons for her students to benefit. Watching a few of her flipped classroom videos will help you understand in an instant not only how incredibly knowledgeable she is in her content area by how much she loves each of her students. She's a remarkable colleague. Our district is fortunate to have her in our middle school.

Dan is AMAZING! I'm so lucky he's so close in Michigan. He's such a positive person who truly gives 120% of himself to help support teachers and students everywhere. Well deserved nomination!

Joan is one of the most passionate and knowledgable educations I know. She puts her heart and mind into everything she does for her students. I'm blessed to have her in my network to learn from. She's well-deserving of this award.

Kyle is a true leader of educational technology integration. Not only does Kyle share through his blog, he is also an avid contributor of resources through various social media networks. Thanks to all he has shared, many teachers worldwide have been able to grow.

The work Tom shares is such a benefit to the entire education community!

I feel so lucky to be a teacher in Michigan with Nick. He's been such a wonderful friend and mentor. The work he shares through his blog, Twitter, and conferences has been able to benefit thousands of teachers worldwide. He's certainly deserving of this honor.
