• DonorsChoose: Bring Donors and Teachers Closer Together

  
  Teachhub Education Blog — Authority: 129
  With grants growing more competitive by the day, DonorsChoose still pays off. It should come as no surprise that the current economic downturn, along with its impact on school budgets, has pushed more educators to grantwriting. I find myself writing more than three times as many grant applications as year as I have ...

• Adam Lambert is My Personal American Idol

  
  Teaching Learners with Multiple Special Needs — Authority: 129
  Apparently I live under a rock, because I didnt know who Adam Lambert was, which is because I do not have a television. Yes, you read that correctly. I do follow a few TV programs via Hulu , but I dont have a TV. This means many conversations go like this, "Hey, Kate did you see... oh yeah... forget it." (And ...

• Donors choose---almost there!

  
  White Coat Underground — Authority: 564
  You guys are great. Large donations continue to trickle in, but really, we can live quite well off of small donations. It would be really cool if we finished off the drive with a bunch of micro-donations, in the 1-10 dollar range. These small donations add up really quickly. A Story to Tell is $97 away from ...

  White Coat Underground — Authority: 564
  Technically, the Donors Choose challenge to help out needy kids doesnt end until the end of the month. But donations given by Sunday are going to be matched by Hewlett-Packard.
