We were contacted about a school library grant opportunity by Acer and Inter. With about a $10,000 dollar value, it sounds worthwhile to apply. Included are 10 laptops that the school could use in a variety of ways.
The school library can be a rich learning environment for students, provided they have the most up-to-date tools and resources at their fingertips. Is there a school library in your community that could use a technology upgrade?
As students become increasingly digital-savvy, they rely on the latest technology resources to complement their educations. At the same time, funding for school technology continues to dwindle. That’s why Acer and Intel are offering K-12 schools across the country an opportunity to transform their libraries into 21st century learning labs. Nominations are now open Acer’s School Library Technology Makeover Contest, which will award 10 new Acer Aspire Timeline notebook computers, valued at nearly $10,000, and two all-in-one desktop computers to two deserving school libraries.
Additional program details include:
• There is a limit of one application per school.
• Program is open to both public and private schools in the U.S.
• The application process takes a matter of seconds to enter – the only information required is name, contact information, school/school district, and a brief entry statement explaining why the school deserves to win a library makeover.
I’m writing because I think your readers would be interested in entering their community schools into Acer’s contest. To enter, community members may submit an application nominating their favorite school at http://professional.us.acer.
Complete terms and conditions for the Acer School Library Technology Makeover Contest are available online.
