Northview Teacher Needs Votes For National Technology Grant
October 19, 2011
A Northview High School teacher is in the running for a technology grant, and he needs your help to win.
Language arts teacher Raja Atallah wants to replace the traditional research paper with a digital documentary for his students. If his grant proposal wins, the students will research a current issue using a variety of media resources, gather their findings and create a research digital documentary video with student reporting, student interviews and more.
As part of the process, the students will learn about copyright laws, plagiarism, online research as well as traditional research — all while learning how to use the software to create the video projects.
At last report, Atallah’s proposal was ranked fifth out of 200 nationwide submissions for the We Are Teachers grant. The grant includes a video camera and $200 toward classroom technology for top-five teachers in online voting. The winner will also include 10 Nook Color tablets.
To vote for Atallah’s project at Northview High School, click here. Voting ends Thursday.

Thank you to all those in our community who voted for my grant. It looks like I made 5th place–and will receive part of the grant. Thank you to Northview colleagues and students for their votes. And a special thank you to all the 9th graders at NHS who got me about 1000 votes!
Anyone know what happened to all the lottery monies that were to help our schools ????
