Putting technology into the hands of every student
If you’re an educator taking advantage of the TI Technology Rewards program – but still need more points – consider some of the creative ways that other educators have developed to help their students obtain a graphing calculator for their own personal use, both in the classroom and at home.
If you have a story that you'd like to share with other educators, please send an email to ktaylor@ti.com with "Success Story" in the subject line.
Creative Funding Ideas
|
| • | Arrange local business sponsorship – when a business sponsors a graphing calculator - to print their logo on GraphiTI and put it on the sponsored calculator. |
| • | Put on a “dancing with the stars” contest, pairing students with educators or administrators. Invite the student body and community to come to the event and vote on favorites. Each vote costs $1. |
| • | Set up a payment plan for students to pay a certain amount per month. By the end of the year they have enough money to pay for a new graphing calculator. |
| • | Raise funds for purchasing technology by holding a raffle at a school sporting event. |
