“Media sure! But secure.”: jury members convened

The jury members convened on October 14th at the Deutsche Telekom AG headquarters in Bonn. Their task was to choose the best entries from the “Media sure! But secure.” competition. Many submissions competed for the select prizes in the categories “Learning with digital media” and “Safe media use.”

The discussion was stimulating amongst the jury, composed of academics, practitioners and representatives of Deutsche Telekom. Their varying perspectives gave the jury members a broad horizon to review, but the results were clear. Some of the evaluation criteria were the projects’ practicability for everyday life, creativity and transferability.

The winners have been notified and will be featured at the upcoming Summit for Kids on November 18th in Bonn. Their respective places in the running will also be announced there. The winning projects will be published on www.teachtoday.de.
