ATPE and TCEA Grant Opportunity

Teachers who are members of both TCEA and ATPE are eligible to apply for the “Let’s Get Mobile” grant. This grant will award each winning teacher five iPad 1's to use with students in his/her classroom. The grant is targeted toward the use of the iPads for:

• Problem solving through easy access to the wide world of information
• Collaborating with people near and far
• Creating new knowledge
• Personal expression and reflection

 

There will be four teachers selected for this project. Application and further details can be found here.

 

Professional Development from TCEA

TCEA and ATPE have partnered to provide FREE webinars for ATPE members.

In the online session, you can engage with the presenter and other participants in real time with just a computer and internet access. No special software is needed.

The sessions are held during the lunch hour (11:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.) to provide maximum flexibility to schedules; however, if you are unable to attend the live session, you can register to receive the recorded copy at the conclusion of the session.
