| The project's creators, teachers Harriet Armstrong and Autumne Streeval of
| Columbus East High School in Columbus, Ind., took top honors at Microsoft's
| U.S. Innovative Teachers Forum, held Aug. 17. Armstrong and Streeval will
| travel to Brazil in November to compete in the software giant's Worldwide
| Innovative Teachers Forum.

| "It is really an honor to have won the U.S. Forum," said Streeval, who
| teaches social studies. "We are excited to go to Brazil to learn more about
| what is going on in education on a global scale. Teachers often struggle with
| similar challenges, even in very unique settings, but the Worldwide Forum
| will allow us to collaborate and tackle obstacles together."

| Armstrong, who teaches family and consumer science, added that she hopes to
| return from Brazil with more ideas and connections to other teachers.
