Join the movement! Digital skills are the key to making a difference in education.

Part contest/part learning experience, the Innovator Academy will introduce educators to digital tools, people and places that will inspire curriculum innovation. Sign up to be a part of the Academy online at http://www.innovatoracademy.com and then will receive a weekly email that gives the first clue to a learning web scavenger hunt.  The contest is free, no strings, no costs along the way - just a great way to learn and have fun at the same time.

Every week, the first person to complete that week's lesson wins! It might be a Wacom Bamboo Tablet or it might be an exclusive invitation to join the in-person Innovator Academy held in beautiful San Diego before the ISTE conference on Sunday, June 24th.  This in-person Innovator Academy will include workshops with Hollywood artists, designers, animators, writers and game creators working side by side with educators to connect and engage students using digital tools.

The following are the official rules for the Currix Innovator Academy Scavenger Hunt that will take place worldwide from Friday January 20, 2012 (01/20/12) to Sunday June 17, 2012 (06/17/12):
