THREE CUSD SCHOOLS AWARDED “INNOVATION IN EDUCATION” GRANTS BY - TopicsExpress

THREE CUSD SCHOOLS AWARDED “INNOVATION IN EDUCATION” GRANTS BY COX COMMUNICATIONS Three Capistrano Unified School District schools — Aliso Viejo Middle School and Aliso Niguel and Tesoro high schools — have been named recipients of the first “Innovations in Education” grants from Cox Communications. The CUSD schools are among 14 Orange County schools awarded grants to help fund advanced science and technology programs for students in grades K-12. The $1,731 grant for Aliso Viejo Middle School will support hardware and software purchases for the robotics and engineering class in which students learn to write computer codes and programming, and gain an understanding of logic, control parameters, and sensor feedback sequences. The grant application was written by science teacher Mark Groothuis. At Aliso Niguel High School, the $4,948 grant will benefit the school’s iPad Academy. More than 420 students use their iPads to take tests, share information about projects, and participate in online discussion groups in the Voluntary iPad Academy. The grant will provide iPads to students in the program who cannot afford their own device. The grant application was written by science teacher Erik Silberman. Tesoro High School will use its $5,000 grant for science laboratory classes as students gather, analyze, and share sensor data collected using hand-held devices, such as in measuring water content in soil, UVB radiation, solar energy, energy from photosynthesis, and light needed for growth. The data can then be shared and processed wirelessly on any device with a web browser such as a smart phone or tablet. The grant application was written by science teacher Amy Varricchio. The “Innovation in Education” grant program, which is in its inaugural year, invited principals, administrators, and teachers at eligible schools to submit a grant application for classroom projects that focus on skills-based learning, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art/Design, and Mathematics), digital literacy, or cyber citizenship (responsibly using the Internet). A panel of educational, community, and business leaders helped Cox score the applications.
