Artifact: Partnership Proposal
Reflection:
The Partnership Proposal and Grant Activity were completed in ITEC 7410. The purpose of the activity was to look outside our school for opportunities where we could gain technology partnerships from the community and also gain technology money or equipment for the school through the writing of a grant.
This artifact demonstrates mastery of Standard 1.3 because I had to research and recommend programs and funding strategies to support implementation of the shared vision represented in my school, district, state, and federal technology plans and guidelines. In this artifact, funding strategies included the development, submission, and evaluation of a formal grant proposal.
I chose Lockheed as my partnership because of a personal relationship I had to the company through my dad’s employment there for numerous years. I enjoyed going to the family days and touring the planes and did not realize until going through this program the connections that could be made with the students through technology use, and the possibility for career choices in the future. My media specialist’s husband works at Lockheed and helped with the research of the Engineers in the Classroom Program. I especially think this is a great opportunity for our 5th grade students in addition to the Robotics team that we have at Teasley. Now that our Robotics team is put together and has some experience with competing, it would be a good time to get them together with Lockheed to enhance those learning experiences. At the time that this artifact was completed the Robotics team at Teasley was just starting to take shape.
The knowledge I gained from working on this artifact is definitely useful when finding ways to gain technology or money to be used toward technology for my school. There are opportunities available and companies who are willing to provide for the betterment of education and we need to take advantage of that more often. The impact of assessment would be seen through the partnership with the Lockheed Engineers in the Classroom Project and the relationships and learning that would ensue. Assessment of the grant would be having the money or technology tools granted to our school.
