I had the good fortune of being the unfortunate fellow that had to apply for a grant today.  I knew that gathering and composing the information into a coherent document would be a lot of work, and I literally did not leave the classroom all week due to the time constraints required to get the application in before tomorrow's deadline.  I know that writing a grant application has a learning curve and that it would be truly miraculous if I won it for my science department, but, boy, would I be stoked if I did!  Equipping two of the science classrooms with ceiling mounted computer projectors, dual touch Smart Boards and wireless Smart Slates would be an awesome way to crank up the interactivity between my students and the curriculum.
