Are you ready to get wired?

Whether you're a new teacher or just new at heart, education is increasingly becoming a digital experience. Here's your place to find fun, functional, and (most importantly) FREE sources to enhance your classroom via the world wide web - and ways to fund it all. Okay maybe not ALL, but at least a great, big, giant portion of it. Are you ready to get wired?

Turning Technologies Grant Opportunity


Here is a great opportunity to earn technology equipment for your classroom! Turning Technologies is accepting applications for their Classroom Improvement Technology Grant now until February 15. Each of the 10 recipients will receive a Samsung Galaxy Tab (a mobile tablet similar to an iPad), a classroom subscripton to Brain Pop, and a student response system and software from Turning Technologies. A student response system is where each student has a remote to digitally send their answers to questions to a receiver linked to a classroom computer. Instead of assessing via pencil and paper, the teacher and students can automatically get feedback on their performance. You can find out more about the capabilities of the responders (called keypads in this case) available through this grant here.

The grant application is available through the online link. Who knows - you might "Spring" into a new season with some cool technology!
