South Dakota school wins $10,000 for science technology October 21, 2011
 According to the Brookings Register, a $10,000 technology grant awarded to Sioux Valley High School in Volga, South Dakota, by a local educational software and technology company will be used to teach students system-wide. High school students applied for the grant with an essay outlining their plan to use the technology both in their own classes and through programs that teach younger students how to use the devices and about basic scientific functions that the devices measure. Many schools seek independent and government grants for technology because a classroom equipped with an interactive whiteboard, tablet computer or HDMI projector can better serve its students and teachers. Many new forms of classroom technology are energy efficient, and their multimedia capabilities offer many benefits to schools. Officials at the school intend to use the grant to purchase a number of technological devices for science classes, including carbon dioxide sensors, oxygen detectors and sensitive temperature probes. While science classes at the high school will have constant access to the tools, classes at the middle school will be able to rent kits with different devices, and high school students will continue to work with elementary school students in science workshops that introduce the technology. |
