Grant+Funded+Equipment

Equipment: Each team will receive 5 Playtouch cameras, SD cards, and one tripod for each team. One tripod was sent per team so they can decide whether they 1) each want one, 2) that one is enough, or 3) won't use.

Extra Funds: Each team has $465 they can spend on resources (not technology, but software, books, Mapping the World by Heart) Each group should determine whether or not they wish to have them ordered. These additional orders need to be completed by at least mid August, as need to spend some grant funds by the end of September.

1) Social Science Game Making History. Through game, students learn nation's trade, diplomacy, production, research and military strategy. $39.99 per download x 2 copies per teacher. (you can preview with your teachers or they could find another game at the same cost or less--if approved by grantor) Norris teachers do NOT need this resource.

2) Building Literacy in Social Studies (Ogle, Klemp, McBride) is a sourcebook of research-based strategies for social studies teachers. Purchase 2 books per team @$31.59 each. (they could substitute another resource if approved by grantor) Norris Teacher DO want this resource.

Some may want to purchase "Mapping the World by Heart" from Fablevision. If so, they would need to indicate what of the above options they are substituting. As mentioned above, need to have all this finalized by August as I'll be then working on final reports for the grants.
