Tell us How Your School will Spend ARRA Dollars
We are beginning to hear from schools and districts around the country as to how ARRA dollars will be used toward school and classroom technology advances and professional development. For example, a district in West Virginia “hopes to use additional Title I funding to upgrade classroom equipment, hire professional personnel, support extended school year initiatives and provide professional development for staff which targets technology integration and 21st Century teaching and learning.”
A district in California plans to use Title I funds for “site purchases that refresh computer labs and expand our interactive instruction with document cameras and mounted projectors. We are also beginning to infuse “netbook” technology into upper grades to foster differntiated teaching strategies.”
Please describe your school or district’s plans here so that we can learn from eachother and share ideas on how to effectively and efficiently spend ARRA dollars for classroom technology and 21st century learning. Additionally, ISTE will share this critical information and examples with the Obama Administration and Congress. We’ll post again later to tell you what
