The Oregon Technology in Education Network (OTEN), with the support of the TQE-P grant, is inviting proposals from student teacher/mentor teacher teams for projects that will utilize technology to foster pedagogically powerful classroom learning. Each OTEN member school is prepared to award $6,000 in grants in support of well-designed projects. The purpose of these grants is to serve as a catalyst for helping teachers try new ways of fostering learning through innovative applications of technology in the classroom. The proposals will be reviewed by committees at each institution based on specific criteria available from your campus coordinator. Grant recipients must also agree to present their projects at an OTEN Teacher Education Conference.
Eligibility: 1) Any student teacher/mentor teacher teams from the six participating OTEN institutions.
Applicants for an OTEN grant should review the specific RFP from each institution and then complete a Project Grant Proposal. Proposals are to be submitted to the campus coordinator at your university for review. Criteria for awarding these grants will vary for each institution and are available from the campus coordinators.

To see examples of other grant ideas that have been funded, you can go to the OTEN conference archives and look at summaries from 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 grant recipients .
