John Heeg, a social studies teacher at Robert Frost, was recently honored with the Bright Light Award from Suffolk ASSET.

Heeg, known for his use of MacBooks and Google Classroom to allow students to research and develop arguments for discussion and debates in Socratic seminars, was acclaimed by Suffolk ASSET for his use of innovative technology in his classroom.

“I am grateful for the recognition,” said Heeg. “My administrators and technology coach Chris Kauter provided the support and resources needed so that students could benefit from the use of technology in the classroom. I appreciate the continued support and look forward to growing professionally.”
