The New Hampshire Society for Technology in Education (NHSTE) is a non-profit organization formed by volunteers to improve education through the use of information technologies.

NHSTE provides a structure for linking educators across the state to share the effective application of emerging technologies in New Hampshire schools.

Celebrate!

NHSTE celebrates leaders in technology in education. We offer two different awards, Pat Keyes Technology Using Educator Award and Susan Janosz Technology Impact Award (see details below). 
Congratulations to this year's winners!

Each year NHSTE recognizes and honors two individuals (one leader and one teacher) who, through their extraordinary work and accomplishments, have made a significant impact in the field of educational technology.  A committee reviews award nominees and two winners are selected.  Winners will be recognized at the Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference and will receive a $1000 cash prize, a one-year Premium NHSTE membership, acknowledgment from our NH State Governor, and will be nominated for national recognition. We also complete nominations for our parent affiliate, ISTE.
Nominations will open again in the fall. For more information or questions, please contact Andrea O'Neil, NHSTE Awards Chair, at oneil.andrea@gmail.com or 603.483.2769 x1201 (work).
