We welcome projects geared toward professional development! These projects are meant to provide the educator with resources or experiences to help them grown in the classroom. All resources requested for professional development must have a clear benefit to your students.
Note: In order for us to approve technology for your classroom, your project essay should include:
- what you will learn from this technology
- how it will improve your ability as an educator and enhance your student’s learning experience.
