Grant Ideas

Do you have exemplary and creative project ideas?

Here are a few examples of the type of classroom activities we are looking for. BE CREATIVE ! What do YOU think will help your students learn? Don’t limit yourself to these examples.

• Students create an interactive book including pictures they take about careers in this subject area
• Students use a 3-D printer to create an item to raise funds for school dance
• Students develop a study guide of 3-D glasses / videos supporting content
• Teachers share instructional support resources across subject areas
• Teachers as a department share career readiness resources
• Teachers collaborate providing online homework support
• Teachers share an interactive ACT pre-website
• SAMR is one of several models which suggest ways to integrate technology
• Classroom video examples of tech use in Ohio

Ideas that probably would NOT be funded (Note these are not all necessarily ‘bad ideas’ - just things that will probably not work for this grant.):

• Creating videos which use copyrighted (that is almost all) music
• A project which uses ‘toilet humor’ in any way
• Using scissors to cut out 3-D models of dinosaurs
• Projects which may be fun but don’t help meet learning objectives
• Using clay to make models of atoms
• ......or other great teaching strategy ideas but which don’t require technology

Not sure if your idea is good enough to win? If it helps YOUR students learn, then SUBMIT IT ! Remember most ‘experts’ didn’t think an electric light bulb was possible - until Edison invented one.
