re: Banners and Posters @ School: Educational (and fundraising!) Ideas

Jules - CDROM "handouts" for fundraising is a fantastic approach, too. I agree that you get far more flexibility with what you can share. Of course some people still love printed photographs and posters, so it just depends on your audience.

FYI (tech details): If you use HP Vivera ink and HP paper, you can get image life that extends beyond 100 years. Make sure to use UV resistant paper if you make signs that get a lot of sunlight. The life of CD-ROMS media can be limited, too - so if you really want long life archives, be sure to select archival quality media.

Maria - This was a very old posting for the 2008 grant program. We hope to announce grant opportunities for 2010 around Nov/Dec of 2009. The due date will likely be around March 2010, but it's too early to be definite yet! - Jim

"It goes without saying that the battery life of paper is essentially endless. " - maybe, but the life of ink is limited (unless you are using a Phaser)

Personally, I prefer using web-pages on CDROM to capture ideas and use for fund-raising.

Including high-quality images, voice, music, text, web-links and a display area as large as you like. (I designed a web-page once which would have been 24feet by 16feet, if it had been printed).

CDROM is a compelling interface, easily produced, shared and stored.

Well designed posters are attractive, and anything is better than Powerpoint, but give me the silver disc any day.

re: First-time Tablet PC User? Try My Favorite "5 First Steps"

Clint - I actually agree with you that OneNote is FANTASTIC. Unfortunately for the particular workshop I did, they hadn't yet loaded OneNote, so I had to start with things that were even more basic.

My favorite hidden secret about OneNote is the ability to record audio (or video) while inking. Because the audio is time stamped to the ink, you can later click on the ink and listen to the audio that was recorded at the time the ink was drawn. This is great for student seminars or in my case, for interviewing people.

What's your favorite use of OneNote?

Thanks for the comment...

How can you discuss the MS Office Suite and not mention OneNote? For education purposes, OneNote is, in my mind, <em>the</em> killer app for TabletPCs.

Sorry, Sue - that particular survey timed out (the original post was about 18months ago. However, I'm still curious what ELSE we should call "Tablet PCs". Feel free to post your thoughts in another comment! - Jim

re: New Grant Opportunity - HP Innovations in Education (Colleges & Universities - USA)

Sandee — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 19:35:11 GMT

I am a math teacher at a community college. We are wanting to integrate computers into our classrooms. I am working with students now in our developmental classes using the MyMathLab program. The students are really benefiting from the program, but we do not have the funds to expand with our computers. Right now, we only have enough computers available for 3 classes to use. The other developmental classes are missing out on a technology that would really benefit them.

Are there any grants available through HP that would help us?

Thank you,
