Technology Grants Available
The School District has put aside funds for technology grants in two areas. Project proposals must be submitted by March 31st.
The first category is "Exploring best practices in supporting SPSS implementation through the innovative use of technology".
Project Purpose
This project is intended to allow groups of teachers to explore innovative uses of technology to support student achievement. Project proposals should be linked directly to some aspect of the school SPSS. The intent of this project is not to support current practices but to genuinely explore new areas of the application of technology to teaching and learning.
The second category is "Enhancing two way communication with parents through the innovative use of technology".
Project Purpose
This project is intended to allow groups of teachers to explore innovative uses of technology to support communication between home and school. Project proposals should be focused particularly on the development of two way communication rather then the school simply passing information to parents. The intent of this project is not to support current practices but to genuinely explore new areas of the application of technology to communication with parents.
Details and more information are available (pdf file). If you have any questions contact Richard Giroday.
We encourage you to discuss with your colleagues, personally and on this forum, your thoughts and ideas how we might undertake one or both of these projects at CLA. This is a fantastic opportunity.
