We invite accredited K-12 educational institutions and their classroom educators to consider applying for a grant. Project proposals may benefit individual classrooms, grade level(s), a school site and/or a collaboration with a 501 (c) (3) non-profit partner serving students and/or classroom educators from an accredited school. Successful projects bring innovative learning to life through the integration of technology.

The Innovative Technology Education Fund (ITEF) supports leading edge, outside of the box ideas and models that positively impact student learning and support classroom educators by focusing on:

Student Achievement – Students reach new levels of educational success with the integration of technology to support a strong technology based curriculum
Mobile / Extended Learning – Using technology to extend and enhance learning outside of the traditional classroom
Technology Skill Development – Projects that support students and teachers in developing the skills and knowledge needed to function in and contribute to a technology-rich society

Special consideration will be given to projects bringing innovative learning to the classroom through the integration of technology, integration of wireless technology in the classroom, applications incorporating the internet, applications incorporating CLEAR's 4g mobile service, K - Middle School applications, non-traditional students or student learning environments, projects benefiting students in economically disadvantaged areas or from schools which currently perform at below-average levels in academic achievement.
