Apply for a Digital Learning Microgrant
sponsored by Dell
Most kids today are immersed in a digital lifestyle—downloading games and music, socializing and shopping online, texting their friends on smart phones, and seldom, if ever, tripping over an actual “land–line.”
As a teacher, how do you incorporate these technologies? What innovative, creative, and original thoughts do you have to encourage digital learning in or out of the classroom?
Then let your friends and the WAT community select ten Microgrant recipients. The money will help you jump-start your project. Use the Flip Video camera to document and share your idea with others.
Application deadline: July 24| Voting begins: July 27 | Recipients announced: August 12
