I received notice that my newest research proposal will be partially funded by AMTEC Trust Fund through the Canadian Network for Innovation in Education.

The project looks to investigate the impact of 1:1 technology on student learning, work flow, communication and collaboration. This is a great step forward, as this grant is meant for university level research.

The recent flurry of recognition by a variety of organizations from Corporate to Research, (SMART, TELUS and AMTEC CNIE) is encouraging that I am on the right track. There is a critical mass growing to create something special, but we are not there yet. I need some more funding to upgrade aging tech, to help pay for third party participation to bring scientific credibility to the research, and to present the work academically and corporately. All this is important for our current and future students, it is outside of the mandate of public school system. I need a partnership. I need to find a PATRON. Any takers??
