The Carlton W.H. Erickson Award, honoring a library media specialist who has made an auspicious beginning in library media services through dedication to the profession, was awarded to

Annea Rosenberg

Library Media Specialist at Scofield Magnet Middle School in Stamford, CT.

After thirty-two years as a classroom teacher, Annea recreated herself as a library media specialist who immediately embraced new technologies, creating videos; receiving a grant from the CT State Education Cooperative for technology training in web design, blogging and CAD for teachers; and initiating a series of video conferences for 7th grade geography teachers and students.

Then Principal George Giberti noted that “Because of Annea’s vast experience in teaching, she has been able to design and teach a variety of lessons and has encouraged teachers to design interdisciplinary units which incorporate technology.”
