Monday: Session 3

The third and final session for Monday was Funding Your Dreams: Grant Writing in the Information Age, presented by a very enthusiastic technology coordinator of a school district in Louisiana.
Apparently, there is a RIDICULOUS amount of money out there for educators. Our presenter did two fantastic things for us. First, she took us step-by-step through the grant writing process, from the perspective of someone who reads grants and makes decisions whether to approve or deny them. Second, she gave us an online list of dozens of grant providers for us to sift through! After her session, I'm extremely enthusiastic about the possibility of writing for and earning funds for technology in my classroom!
