 * This is the message I sent to the [|WiA list] sharing the news about the award**:

//* Dear Webheads,

I want to share with you this news. I have received Universidad Simón Bolívar´s Biannual Award for Best Innovation in Information or Communication Technology Mediated Teaching. First edition.

This award would not have been possible without Webheads. My blended and online courses are all the result of all the learning I have acquired with and from webheads, and their continuous support in many of the activities I have designed for my students.

Thanks to all :-)

Daf//

//Dear Daf, Congratulations! Exemplary work indeed! I really enjoyed reading the student comments, and it is clear how much your teaching is about the students and not just the technology. You are my role model and inspiration! Sending you warm hugs and masses of admiration//, Renata (Japan)

//Dearest Dafne, May I add my most heartfelt congratulations to those you have already received. Your dedication and tireless efforts are an inspiration to us all. I can think of few who are as deserving of such recognition as you - for exploring uncharted territory and serving as a guidepost for those of us still stumbling through cyberspace. You are never afraid to try new techie toys, and turn the fun into a learning experience in new and exciting ways. Your students are blessed with your expertise, and your fellow WebHeads are honoured to be in your company.

With deepest respect and admiration,// Leanne (Canada)

//Huge congrats Daf. You certainly deserve this award and are an inspiration to all of us. Like Hala, I would also like a magic wand. I'm sure I could find many uses for it. How can one come to possess an item of this nature? // Susan Bates (Canada)

//Dear Daf Way to go. If anyone deserves such an award it's you. I feel proud of having had the chance to work with you and Tere. You have not only acquired the knwoledge but have been able to share it far and wide, which is by far the trickiest thing.. If your f2f teaching is just half as good as your online interaction it must be superlative. So enjoy your award and feel that friends from all over the world will enjoy it with you.

//Hey Dafne, Congratulations on your Innovation in CMC Award. Innovation is sparked by passion, interaction, and the manifestation of ideas. You are an important part of those ingredients for me as I develop my own innovative ideas as I am sure you are for many fellow webheads. Sparking enthusiasm and showing the way help me more than anything as I integrate all this great technology in my teaching and my classes. Thanks for being a leader willing to share knowledge at the drop of a hat. All that said, my hat's off to you! Cheers//, Lee Ann Baber (USA)

//Dear Daf, I truly admire you. I have been very behind with reading my email and just now read about your wonderful award. I agree the Webheads are extremely supportive and will always reach out and help, but you are also one of the most dynamic teachers I know!!! You have so much creativity and your enthusiasm is awesome! And you are always one of those who reach out and help others, too. I still appreciate how you were there when I did my very first web conference with Yaodong in China. You are one of the key players in what makes the Webheads so great. Thank you for all you do and I'm so glad you are getting some well-deserved recognition!!! Many hugs and cheers to you, //Candy

On the other hand, I just have to say congratulations too, simple, heartfelt, congratulations//. Mike M. (France) Real English Online (REO)

//Dear Daf, Congratulations on a well deserved award. I am sure you will continue innovating and sharing your knowledge and experience with webheads and other educational communities.
