Education Grants-Technology

Located in my office is a calendar displaying Educational Grants in relationship to technology.  Also click on the Education Grants-Technology title above to take you to a link talking and introducing more information related to Educational Grants.

If you are ever interested in applying for a local, state or national Education Grant in relationship to technology, please let me know so I can support you.  Of course the HDCSD technology team wants to make sure what you are applying for is compatible with the types of technology/media we currently have for teachers, staff and students, but we also want you to have the opportunity to receive different types of technology/media for your students, to help differentiate your teaching and their learning.

If you ever stop in my office for a question, check out the calendar on my tack board for some ideas.
