**Wednesday, June 29th** Show Me the Money: Tips and Tricks of Grant Writing View session ppt http://www.mimioconnect.com/

Traditional Grant options IDEA CTAE New construction: money is easier to get before new construction than after IT Funds PTA/PTO Title 1 Title 2a Title 2d: i3: if you apply you will get it (if your school is eligible)

Make sure you have a good plan in place. Differentiate between needs and wants. Connect to student achievement. Nine out of ten grants are never read all the way through. Catch their attention within the first paragraphs. Do not be brand specific, politics always play a role.

Google has over 2 million hits for technology grants, but do your homework and make sure they apply to your topic.

New Media, New Literacies: Educational Transformation through Digital Creativity Jason Ohler Www.jasonohler.com


 * Evaluate students on all pieces of their digital projects, even if you don't know how to do what they did. Too many times we give As for moving objects on a screen.
 * Being literate is the production and consumption of information, media, or technology.
 * Often we test black and white paper but pray our students can innovate and create collages and interesting material.
 * Inspire diverse visual content (dvc) Use bullets, text boxes, and graphics and videos, all media rich
