Grants and in-kind donations of up to $40,000 to Oklahoma school administrators and superintendents who have attended the funding source's technology and professional development training session. An application session will be held on December 3, 2015.
Funding will be provided for classroom technologies, infrastructure, leadership, and professional development to implement and advance integration of technology into classroom instruction.
The grant implementation plans should be designed to use technology for authentic learning opportunities to improve student achievement as well as a tool to facilitate a professional learning community.

1. Developing, adapting, or expanding existing and new applications of technology to support school reform effort in relationship to high achieving school practices.
2. Acquiring hardware and software (minimal) for use by teachers and students in order to improve student learning by supporting the instructional program in authentic ways (If connectivity and infrastructure to support goals are needed, funds may be used for these purposes).
