Week 7 - Educational Technology Grants

Finding room in the budget to make your classroom technology dreams come true can sometimes be difficult but if you look hard enough there may be a grant out there waiting for you and your project.

Your assignment for Week 7 is to explore the sites below with information on grants. Once you have checked on sites your assignment is to write a blog post with the following comments:


1) Describe a grant that you could apply for that would apply to your subject area and grade level. (If not currently in the classroom then imagine you are in your ideal classroom situation for this activity.)


2) Imagine your principal has just informed you that a wealthy patron has donated a large sum of money to the school and each classroom teacher will be given $2500 to integrate technology into their curriculum. What would you buy? How would you use it? Please describe your plan on how you would use your $2500.
