What's working, and with help, could work even better?

Are you using "interactive technology to make learning fun"? If you, a grant opportunity from Best Buy can be a vehicle to expand your program. This site explains the program and the opportunity for an individual teachers to receive a $2,000 gift card for the purchase of needed equipment. With the number of these grants being awarded (1,500 nationwide),

I spoke with a friend who was a 2007 grant award winner. Her project involved the purchase of digital cameras and accessories to use in an animation project with her junior high school art classes. The point is, this grant does not have to be "cutting edge." It's designed to reward those who are doing good work and have a vision for where they want their programs to go. The application deadline is September 30, so this one allows plenty of time to complete the application.

The application is submitted online, so a good strategy is to compose the grant in a Word document, polish it, and then copy & paste it into the application.

For any teacher who is interested in pursuing this grant, or any other, I am always glad to read and make suggestions on anything on any grant proposal you may be writing.
