Teresa Roebuck, Teresa Sheree Crites

Congratulations to Sheree Crites, Outstanding Distance Education Faculty in Arkansas for 2009!  She has received a complimentary membership in the GATE to show our appreciation to her!  Way to go, Sheree!  Keep up the great work!  We know you make a huge difference in the lives of your students.

This  award was awarded to Sheree Crites, teacher with the Arkansas Department of Education Distance Learning Center by the Arkansas Distance Learning Association.  Sheree exhibits enthusiasm for using technology and has impacted not only her colleagues, but also her peers in both public and private schools. Wherever she meets with colleagues and during presentations, she demonstrates the many ways technology can facilitate, enhance, and enrich student learning. She was the first of the Distance Learning Center’s faculty to use podcasting for literature, grammar, and short story lessons; her excitement about the difference it made in her classes encouraged colleagues to try it in their classes. She can frequently be seen at school sporting events or awards banquets at the schools after hours, when the activity or school is within driving distance.  Nominees were submitted by the faculty member’s president, chancellor, or senior administrative representative.

We will be hearing more from our newest member of the GATE community in the near future.  Look for her contributions to our online professional learning community when you join with us!
