HP Technology for Teaching Grant

In 2008, HP will grant awards to K–12 public schools that are using a collaborative, team-based approach to implementing technology integration projects. The activities of the project must be focused on using technology to teach, rather than on teaching students to use technology. Find out more about this grant at http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/grants/us/programs/tech_teaching/2008_tech_for_teaching_rfp_k12.pdf.

To receive the HP Technology for Teaching Grant for K–12 schools, schools must:

1. Be a K–12 public school in the United States (including Puerto Rico).
2. Have been open and operating as a school beginning no later than the 2005–06 school year
3. Have the physical and technical infrastructure at the school to support use of the Internet in classroom instruction. Requirements include:

• Local Area Network installed in the school, with at least one network data port and two electrical outlets available in each classroom where a teacher on the project team will be teaching.
• Technical support in the building or in the district available to provide support and maintenance of granted products.
• Certify administrative support for implementation of the proposed grant project.
• Form a team composed of five full-time, certified teachers (or teachers working under an emergency credential) who are employees of a single school and spend the majority of their time during the school day leading class instruction directly with students (not one-on-one or tutorial interaction).
