Topic: Funding for school projects
The Beaverton Education Foundation has awarded grants to 33 Beaverton School District teachers and educators to fund their ideas for learning through technology and innovation. Aloha High School was one of the schools, awarded with $930 to buy Flip Cameras for students to capture their cultural stories through video. Intended Audience: Beaverton School District community, us.
Key Points: In the light of this entire budget cut talk, there is hope for some teachers with awesome ideas to integrate technology into their classrooms and projects.
Relevance: Basically the same as the point of this article—it is nice to hear that some ideas can be funded, and it makes me hopeful for when I start teaching and coming up with interesting fun project ideas for my class. Imagine if we could have all borrowed flip cams to make a mini documentary about our culture! That would be awesome.
