National Education Non Profit Offering $500 School Grants This Week Through "Speak Up America!"

Since 2003, the annual Speak Up survey has collected data from students, parents, and educators about technology, learning, and schools. This year, over 310,000 participants representing over 5,500 schools nationwide have shared their voice on the future of education through Speak Up.  Now's your chance to get involved! Be a part of the conversation and share your ideas about how to leverage technology in schools to promote better learning.  

Additionally as part of a special weeklong event taking place this week, the “Speak Up America 2013” campaign will be offering a daily photo challenge grant giveaway of $500 to participating classrooms or schools as well as 2 opportunities for our district to win a free ISTE conference registration, just for participating! Now’s the time to get involved, Speak Up closes on December 20th!

By giving 15 minutes of your time to Speak Up America 2013 (www.tomorrow.org/speakup), you can make sure your voice is heard loud and clear from classrooms to the halls of Congress, from state capitols to boardrooms.  Ensure that policymakers are making those important program and funding decisions based upon real data from real education stakeholders – you!
