The stimulus package passed in March contains unprecedented federal funding for public K-12 education. I've seen lots of webcasts, articles, and excitement about this infusion of funding. There also seems to be quite a bit of confusion about how much will be available to whom and for what purposes.
Given the high desire for technology grants in our Grant survey, we know that many Grant Wrangler users might be interested in how stimulus money might be used for Ed Tech. Education Week is sponsoring a free on the topic:
Stimulating Ed-Tech Investments: How to Maximize Stimulus Dollars
When: Thursday, April 30, 3-4 p.m. Eastern
Registration is now open.
Another great resource is a new site developed by Steve Hargadon:
edstimulus.org
We'll be launching a grant discussion there soon. Tell us about your interests, questions, and concerns.
