A non-profit organization for education, bridging technology gaps to build brilliant futures
More than being a non-profit, Views on Learning is a catalyst for educational change.
The lack of access to digital tools can hinder students’ success
Without access to technology, students fall behind in today’s interconnected world. Unfortunately, this is the reality for many students who are without critical resources such as mobile broadband, digital readers, interactive tools, and other essential educational technologies.
This lack of access can stem from various socioeconomic factors. Students from low-income families may live in areas with limited internet infrastructure or their families may struggle to afford internet service and devices. Additionally, some schools may lack the funding to properly equip classrooms with the latest technology. These disparities can hamper students’ ability to learn effectively and participate or compete in a technology-driven world.
TIGER Grant: Gain a technology boost to enhance student learning
The 2024 Views on Learning Technology Innovation Grants for Educational Resources (TIGER Grant) program is awarding up to $25,000 to eligible schools within our service areas to support innovative technology endeavors. Here's what you can gain:
- Funding to purchase essential technology: Whether it's interactive whiteboards, mobile devices, or educational software, the TIGER Grant can help equip your classrooms with the tools needed for engaging learning experiences.
- Enhanced student learning: The grant empowers you to invest in technology that fosters student creativity, critical thinking, and digital literacy skills.
- Access to valuable resources: In select areas, awardees can receive mobile hotspots for internet access and Zoom video conferencing licenses to expand collaboration opportunities.
Don’t delay. While the application window is open from February through October, funding is not unlimited.
