Best Buy Invites Applications for K-12 Technology Education Program

 Deadline: October 12, 2008

 The Best Buy ( http://www.BestBuy.com/CommunityRelations ) Teach
 Award program recognizes and rewards creative uses of interactive
 technology in K-12 classrooms. In 2008, the program will award a
 total of $2 million to accredited K-12 public, private, parochial,
 magnet, and charter schools in the United States and Puerto Rico.

 Winning programs focus on kids using technology to learn standards-
 based curriculum rather than on teaching students to use technol-
 ogy or educators using technology that children aren't able to use
 hands-on.

 Awards ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 each will be granted to pro-
 grams that engage students at any grade level by creatively inte-
 grating interactive technology into the curriculum. All awards
 are in the form of Best Buy Gift Cards.

 Best Buy Teach Awards of $10,000 each will be granted to up to
 fifteen schools serving ninth-grade students that display the
 greatest creativity in their programs/projects and the clearest
 vision of how to increase the school's use of interactive tech-
 nology. The emphasis on ninth-grade classrooms aligns with Best
 Buy's new @15 philanthropic focus
 ( http://www.bestbuyinc.com/community_relations/our_focus.htm ).

 Accredited nonprofit K-12 public, private, parochial, magnet,
 and charter schools are eligible to apply. All applicant schools
 must be nonprofit and located in the United States or Puerto
 Rico. Eligible educators are certified teachers, specialists,
 and/or principals. The program or project must have been in
 existence in the applying school for at least one full school
 year.

 Visit the Best Buy Teach award program Web site for complete
 program details and application instructions.
