Grants foster technology use in Utah classrooms – Qwest Foundation Provides money to spur innovative teaching.

Lara Dean of Lincoln Elementary in Salt Lake City soon will be using a "Smart Board" to help her teach second- through sixth-grade students who are having trouble learning mathematics.

Language arts instructor Colin Haakeson at East High School has secured a digital camera that students learning English are using to create documentary films about ways to improve the school.

Within the next several weeks, Sheila Cody’s and Gareth Orr’s students at City Academy Charter School will be operating a WeatherBug tracking station so they can monitor weather, and feed their data to other schools and a television station.

All have one thing in common: They have received Teacher & Technology grants from the Qwest Foundation http://www.qwest.com/about/company/community/foundation.html to help them secure equipment to improve their students’ learning experiences.
