You can use Amazon to shop for DonorsChoose
20:37 - Peggy George
what a clever idea!!!!
20:42 - @plnaugle(Paula)
DonorsChoose is currently just for teachers in public schools.
20:48 - Peggy George
How do you do that Francie?
21:13 - Francie Kugelman
They added Amazon as a vendor. You just can't shop there during the Christmas season.
21:14 - Peggy George
it would be awesome if DonorsChoose could be available for private schools too!
21:18 - @plnaugle(Paula)
Every public school teacher should definitely post a project on DonorsChoose.
21:45 - Eileen 1
I way I knew that about ISTE.
21:58 - Peggy George
so important to read the tutorials and follow the directions for each grant!
22:28 - Francie Kugelman

26:01 - Peggy George

26:30 - Peggy George
Francie thank you so much for all of your tips!!!!
26:43 - Angela
Thanks Lorie
26:50 - Francie Kugelman

I led a face to face pd session this past Thursday. It was our 4th session in a series of 7. One of my teachers left with tears in her eyes because all she has in her classroom is a laptop, one desktop and a SMART Board. Very little funding opportunities. I'm excited to see her in February at our next meeting to share all your great ideas. I can't thank you enough for this presentation.
