Wow! This process of looking for a grant that fits the needs of my technology initiative has been overwhelming. There is so much information to go through, and so many grant options out there. Just finding a grant to apply for is so much time and research that I can't even imagine writing one. I definitely think it would be more effective to write a grant as a team. The grade levels could get together and decide what they all need, and each of them could take responsibility for one part of the grant.
The trouble I had while searching for a grant that would fit the needs of my technology initiative was that I need a larger amount of money. My technology initiative is to purchase a classroom set of IPads. I looked at sites such as donorschoose.org, where people donate to your proposal, but they were unrealistic for my initiative. Those grants seem to be for much smaller projects. It did give me the idea that it would be a great site to use to purchase accessories if I had the IPads. I could use it to ask for things like headphones or apps to enhance the students' experience with the IPads.
I believe grantwrangler.com would be the best option for me, because they have grants that cover larger expenses.
