Grant Awards March 4, 2010

Pine Valley Elementary New Hanover County Schools

Students complete an

online literacy project to

analyze and identify the

elements of fiction stories

and novels. Students

access several online,

interactive tools widely

available online to

complete the literacy

project. For this, students

need one-to-one computers

with Internet access. The

grant money will buy 4

laptop computers that will

become a part of a mobile

computer lab.

Haw River Elementary Alamance Burlington Schools

The goal of this project is to provide music education through technology-based learning. The program would include purchasing 25 midi keyboards for the

computers in the lab that include software for composition and computer based music. With this and the Groovy Music Software, I

plan to teach each class basic music concepts, notes and notation, musical terms

theory and basic keyboarding. Involving the "whole child" in the arts gradually teaches many types of literacy, while

developing intuition, sensitivity, reasoning, imagination, and dexterity. Music technology

will help enhance the curriculum and differentiate instruction. I will be bringing harmony into the technology lab through music education and technology. This will

surely “strike a chord “with our students.

Carrboro Elementary Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools

In conjunction with other funds, this

grant money will be used to purchase a

class set of I-Touches and an I-Touch

syncing case. The class set will be split

into 4 classroom center sets and will be

utilized to engage students with content

across the curriculum and periodically

brought back together for full class

projects. The technology will allow

students to access teacher selected

informational videos, recorded lessons

and read alouds, interactive stories and

various skill-building games and

activities. Students will also publish

and share their own reading and writing

through the integration of other forms

of technology in conjunction with

the I-Touches.
