<p>Trust, privacy, and safety are critical to learning in an open online world. How can learners exercise control over who sees and uses their data? What tools do they need to navigate, collaborate, and learn online with confidence? What solutions will foster greater civility and respect in online learning environments? How can open technical standards create more opportunities to share and collaborate online in a spirit of trust?</p>
<p>The fifth open, international HASTAC/MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Competition, the Trust Challenge, will award $1.2 million to institutions and organizations that tackle these questions in real-life learning contexts. The Trust Challenge will fund successful collaborations or “laboratories” that create scalable, innovative, and transformative exemplars of connected learning that bridge technological solutions with complex social considerations of trust.</p>
<p><b>Awards: $10,000 to $150,000 year-long development grants</b>; $1.2 million will be awarded in total.</p>
<p><b>Timeline: Applications accepted September 3 to November 3, 2014</b>. Final applications are due Monday, November 3, 2014 at 5pm PST/ 8pm EST.</p>

<p>Dear Members,</p>

<p>I did a demo today for a rural northern New Jeresy Technology teacher. He is offering a "Leggo"Robotics Lab for the students of his middle school. He only receives $3,800.00 for his whole department annually.<br/>AND! We know how expensive those Leggo Robot parts are!</p>
<p>BUT! He is a marketer. He set up a booth at the NJ State Fair, demonstrating his students efforts and projects. As a direct result, he has signed on 10 corporate sponsors for his program, and made many more business contacts. <br/>J+J was revamping one of their mechanics workspaces, they called him. He was able to obtain a complete set of heavy tools and work benches for the lab. Snap-on tool sets, not bad!</p>
<p>One company was purchasing new computer workstations for their staff, guess who got 20 lightly used workstations?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Moral here! If you need funding for your students....make the effort and reach out to local businesses and organizations. Everybody wants to help.</p> Looking for Grants and Funding Sources for iPods in the Classroomtag:www.classroom20.com,2010-12-04:649749:Topic:5742222010-12-04T22:48:10.107ZBruce Brownhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/BruceBrown401
I am working on a resource for teachers of Grants and Funding Sources that teachers can use to assist them in purchasing iPods and other technology for the classroom. What web sites are you using to find funds that might be available? Thanks for your help.
