Clancy Wolf was recently honored with the coveted Making IT Happen jacket for his contributions to the successful integration of technology in education in K-12 schools.

Wolf is a science and technology education faculty member at IslandWood.

The Making IT Happen award is provided by the International Society for Technology in Education, of which Northwest Council for Computer Education (NCCE), a North Idaho educational technology professional development organization, is an affiliate.

While attending the 44th annual NCCE 2015 conference in Portland, Oregon Wolf was honored for his dedication to education and successful integration of technology in the classroom. The Making IT Happen program has made a commitment to work with state and national organizations to identify individuals who are truly “Making IT Happen” within their respective state or region and to recognize them publicly.

During the award ceremony, Wolf was described as a tireless advocate in inspiring educators to use 21st Century resources to benefit student academic achievement.

Heidi Rogers, executive director of the Northwest Council for Computer Education, praised Wolf’s invaluable contributions to educational technology through his more than 20 years of service as a member, leader and webmaster for NCCE.

“Clancy is extremely intuitive and has always been ahead of his time in education technology,” Rogers said.

Wolf joins a prestigious group of Making It Happen honorees, including classroom teachers, school principals, district superintendents, legislators, governors, and even former Secretary of Education, Richard Riley.

Founded in 1995, the Making IT Happen program highlights the dramatic role educators are having on the learning process by using technology and rewards those individuals for their commitment and innovation.
