Computers for Learning Gold Star Award Quick Tips

  • The entry package should be thorough and complete, but not too long (the maximum is five pages). The judges will evaluate the content, and they are looking for quality not quantity.

  • Describe how the nominated Computers for Learning program is innovative or how it provides a novel solution to a problem.

  • Discuss who, in the agency organization, is interested in Computers for Learning. Did the individual help in instituting the nominated Computers for Learning program?

  • Describe any "lesson learned" during the implementation process. What does the agency suggest others do or avoid doing based on its experience?

  • Make the entry easy to read. Use headings and bullets where they will help.

  • Define acronyms and abbreviations.

  • Have several people proofread the entry package for clarity, understanding, grammar and adherence to the criteria.
