CELA Internet GrantThe National Research Center on English Learning & Achievement (CELA), in conjunction with the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, is pleased to announce a grant opportunity for teachers that will allow them to access Internet resources for themselves and their students. We are seeking proposals from teachers for funds that would be used to support student learning and teacher networking. Examples of recent projects supported by the grant include: A group of teachers in Tennessee and a university music teacher from the Memphis area used the grant to create Unitas, an electronic bulletin board designed to increase minority student access to telecomputing. In Colorado, teachers who teach interdisciplinary literature courses used the Internet to develop their ideas about literature curriculum, to discuss adolescent literature with other educators, and to encourage student use of online services. Two elementary school teachers from Upstate New York are using the Internet as a professional development tool to interact with other teaching professionals. Grants up to $300 are available for any Internet project. To apply, please prepare a short description of the activities you propose to undertake as a result of the award, and how you anticipate such a grant would assist and enhance student learning in your classroom(s). In addition, please provide us with a contact person's name, school/school district, address, phone number and e-mail address. Please submit the online application and direct any questions to: Center on English Learning & Achievement, ED-B9, University at Albany, State University of New York, 1400 Washington Avenue, Albany, NY 12222. |
