Each year ETA seeks to promote innovation in the St. Louis region by recognizing individuals who have made significant contributions in the area of educational technology. Active full members of ETA may nominate a deserving individual or organization who has been influential in advancing innovation in teaching and learning in St. Louis area schools .
Nominations should be made in writing and submitted to the ETA secretary. Active members of ETA select award recipients via electronic ballot. Award recipients are notified at the end of the year meeting in May.
