=Final Project FAQ=

A:** The Dropbox for summer 2009 Session was created on Thursday, July 16 and is now available for you to upload your final projects.
 * Q: When will the dropbox be created for submitting final project?

A:** The final deliverable you will submit through the dropbox in Springboard will be ONE of the following (A paper, PowerPoint, Movie, or a podcast).
 * Q: Where do we submit our final project? Dropbox on springboard?

A: Yes, interactive whiteboards are an acceptable technology to request, but please be aware that you will need more than just the technology. Your plan should reflect a sound professional development plan and be based on improving education for students, not just a piece of technology.
 * Q: Can we write a grant/proposal for an interactive whiteboard?**

A: Please use the Grant-to-Educators application to gather ideas for your project.
 * Q: Are we to use the Grant-to-Educators?**

Q: **Is there a difference between the Grant-To-Teacher and Grant-To-Educators?** A: The only real difference I see is that the Grant-To-Teachers shows A: $4,000 limit and the Grant-To-Educators the limit is $3,000.

A: //Please use the "[|Grant-To-Teacher]" application for $4,000 application that is available for download on the Week 12 page//

Q: **Should our paper be solely centered around the Application? Do we need to have a paper AND a POWERPOINT and a MOVIE/PODCAST?**

A: //Your paper or other formatted presentation should be centered around the application, while paying very close attention to the rubric provided for the final project. The final deliverable you will submit through the dropbox in Springboard will be ONE of the following (A paper, PowerPoint, Movie, or a podcast). You pick one format that you feel you will best 'sell' your grant idea in and use that format. Which format you choose is totally up to you.//

Q: **Do we have to get anything written or reviewed by our superintendent as the application required?**

A: //__No__. You do not need to take this to your superintendent unless you intend on submitting at for review AFTER the course is over. It is NOT a requirement of this course.//

Q: **Do I need to submit the grant to Martha Holden Jennings for this course?**

A: __//No//__//. You do not need to submit the actual grant. The grant is simply to provide you a platform to submit your plan. Think of this as your opportunity to demonstrate what you know about how to plan for the implementation of technology, based on what you took from the discussions in this course.//
