• • Submission must document a current use of technology that is transformative, and ideally scalable and applicable to a variety of disciplines (not intended for planning or future implementation of a technology innovation). 
  • The technology cannot create a barrier to individuals, so it should be accessible to all, affordable and user-friendly. 
  • The application must focus on teaching and learning, not technology for the sake of technology.
