Educators & College Students: I need your advice

What kind of technology is your classroom currently outfitted with? Do you have ceiling mounted projectors? Those are nice if you use computer based content in your teaching.

Unless you have a desperate need for technology, I might lean toward using the money for field trips or service learning projects.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, we have ceiling-mounted projectors and document cameras that I use, literally, daily. Field trips sound interesting, especially in terms of conference attendance. That's a great idea.

You could have a major class project and make it a competition. Top project(s) get to go to the conference to present their results.

Edit: you'd want an independent panel to judge the projects for the travel.

Nice.

It's not much, but I was also thinking about a small scholarship seed.
