BulletGrants and Awards and Contests

SMARTer Kids Research: This program was created to help educators research the effects of technology on teaching and learning and to publish the results of these studies.

Each participant conducts a 6- to 8-month study of a learning environment that includes a SMART Board interactive whiteboard. The project culminates with a final research paper that details the study's outcomes. Projects most likely to be chosen are those that have a clear research goal and that focus on learning processes. The Foundation will loan successful applicants a SMART Board 560 interactive whiteboard and Floor Stand with which to conduct their study. Proposals are evaluated as they are received.
