**Big Shoulders/Chicago Community Trust Technology Grant - Year Three**
For Children of Peace, Saint Agatha Catholic Academy, St. Gall, St. Malachy, and St. Matthias/Transfiguration.

Welcome to our wikispace! Four years ago Big Shoulders received considerable funds from the Chicago Community Trust. Our five schools have benefited by receiving laptops, projectors, interactive boards and professional development. The goal was not just to obtain technology, but to have teachers utilize it to engage students to increase learning. Studies show that interactive technology has done just that when used correctly. Part of our obligation to the generous donors is to report to them periodically about our progress. Your assistance is needed and greatly appreciated to complete December and final evaluations to Big Shoulders.

Grant totals: $176,000.00, $85,000.00, $30,000.00, $15,000.00 = $306,000.00!!!!! , and average of $61,200.00 for each of our five schools.

For teachers: Due May 21, 2010 Teacher Questionnaire 1. For administrators: Due May 19, 2010: Test Scores, Dates for next year, Questionnaire
