Challenge Grants for Technology in Education Technology Innovation Challenge Grants complement the work of the Challenge Fund by developing and refining new applications of technology that make significant contributions to school improvement. Investments in technology will be worthless, unless teachers and students know how to use these tools effectively to improve education. As development and demonstration testbeds, Technology Innovation Challenge Grants generate new learning applications and proven practices that may be successfully adapted in schools and communities across the nation. Challenge Grants buttress local investments in computers and telecommunications by helping educators ensure that new technologies pay off in improved education for the 21st Century.
