                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 1, 2011

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend Luis Nazario of 
Pueblo, Colorado, for pioneering the use of technology in education. 
Mr. Nazario became a leader among Colorado's community colleges and 
online education programs before use of the internet for teaching 
purposes was popular.
  As an English teacher, Mr. Nazario has been commended not only by his 
school, Pueblo Community College, but also by the Colorado Community 
College System at large. Students have broader access to educational 
tools both in the classroom and online in large part because of his 
efforts. Colorado stresses the importance of education for all of its 
citizens and Mr. Nazario is an example of innovation in that pursuit.
  Mr. Nazario graduated from Inter American University in Puerto Rico 
with a degree in English Literature. He emigrated to the United States 
to receive his master's degree as a teacher of English to other 
languages from New York University. He then moved to Colorado to begin 
teaching in the state's community college system. Mr. Nazario continues 
to teach English and foster learning among students who speak English 
as a second language in Colorado.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Luis Nazario for his 
exceptional commitment to the emerging presence of technology in 
education. I thank him for dedicating himself to education and reaching 
out to Colorado's youth.
