Teaching and Learning through Innovation Technologies Grant
Overview

The ETC Teaching and Learning through Innovative Technologies Grant is presented to a classroom teacher(s) and/or technology leader(s) in an educational setting who work(s) to promote technology in education through best practices relating to innovative technology integration.  The action research focus for the Educational Technology Council for the upcoming year is personal-owned devices with an emphasis on how devices owned by students are used in the classroom; however, this grant can also support a project of your choice.

Eligibility Requirements

  • The applicant(s) is/are a current member(s) of Educational Technology Council of the ATA. Pre-service student members are also eligible.

  • The applicant submit(s) a Project Proposal outlining an innovative action research project which promotes technology integration in the area of personal-owned devices with an emphasis on how devices owned by students are used in the classroom or a project of your choice.

Award Criteria for Consideration

  • The project demonstrates effective and engaging technology integration into the K-12 curriculum.

  • The project is innovative and/or reflective of emerging technologies.

  • The project is topical based on new curriculum being implemented in the Province of Alberta or new initiatives being undertaken with emerging technologies.

  • The applicant commits to being prepared to share their action research based on the project, posting their project (or a link to their project) on the ETC website, and presenting at an upcoming annual conference, regional workshop, webinar and/or virtual presentation.

  • One grant of $3000 or up to three separate grants of $1000 each will be offered to ETC members in support of action research projects involving technologies in education; successful applicant(s) will receive 50% of the grant upon startup and 50% upon completion of the project.  The grant must be used to start or complete a project; grants cannot be received in retrospect, i.e. when a project is complete. The number of awards being presented will depend on the quality of the proposal(s) and the financial resources available for distribution.
