In-district Technology Grants - DUE January 5, 2017

We are happy to announce that WFEE has made another contribution to PowerED UP, which allows us to send out another round of in-district technology grants!

These will be due January 5, 2017

For the secondary level schools, the focus will be on innovation and trying new types of technology, and less on student devices.  For the middle school, student devices for the classroom will not be part of this round, and for the high school there will be a limited number of student devices allowed (based on the BYOD being fully rolled-out at middle and piloted at high school).  Elementary grants will be open for student devices and innovative technology.

Based on funding, please keep in mind that requesting a "class set" of anything will not be awarded.  If after reading through all of the attached documents, you have any questions, please let me know.  However, please do not send me your grant, as this is a blind scoring process.  Please submit the grants to:   https://goo.gl/forms/lJJcbyAGqKYdLZEo1      

No grantswill be accepted through email, hard copy, etc.  They MUST be submitted through the googleform (this allows us to make sure that none are lost in processing and that none of the people blind scoring will see the grants ahead of time).  Based on feedback we have: changed the submission process, streamlined the form, attached a sample, and are encouraging people to apply as a grade level or team.  We also want to emphasize that we do not expect the grants to be lengthy (1-2 pages), and that most people are asked to do no more than 6 hours of professional development (which can be delivered during half-days, summer workshops, faculty/dept/grade level sharing, common planning time sharing, helping an individual colleague, presenting on tech night, etc.).  . 

Thanks you!
