UOIT Education researcher awarded with 2013 NTLI Fellowship

Dr. Janette Hughes, Assistant Dean, Research, Faculty of Education (FEd), was recently awarded the National Technology Leadership Initiative (NTLI) Fellowship for her National Council of Teachers of Education session, Transformative Teaching: Using Apps with Literature Circles to Engage Social Justice in Middle School.

“On behalf of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, I’d like to congratulate Janette for this recognition,” said Dr. Suzanne de Castell, Dean, FEd. “This achievement is a wonderful example of the high-calibre research our faculty is conducting and the impact it is making in our school systems.”  

The selection committee noted Dr. Hughes’ session addresses the original intention of the NTLI Fellowship, showcasing how technology can be used to create beneficial learning opportunities for all students. The NTLI Fellowship was established to recognize an exemplary presentation of technology by member organizations of the Society for Information and Technology in Teacher Education during annual conferences. It also helps promote dialogue among the professional organizations regarding appropriate technology use in teacher education.
