Nominate your pick for Online Educator of the Year

Students, recognize teachers going the extra mile

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - As we begin Teacher Appreciation week, it is important to recognize the struggles educators have faced due to the coronavirus (COVID-10) outbreak.

Teachers took action to shift classes online to ensure students continue to learn amidst nationwide school closures.

Brainly, the world's largest online learning community, has just launched a Online Educator of the Year Award to honor teachers who continue to support students with online learning.

Brainly says three outstanding educators will receive $1,000 towards classroom upgrades and resources, and nominations are open now through May 8.

The Online Educator of the Year Award  scholarship is in partnership with DonorsChoose, Codecademy, and ClassTag.
