Thank you, ManACE!!!

Today our class won a grant, but it was unexpected because Mr. H. had a sad face when he told us at first, and we fell for it. Then he said we won, and it was pretty awesome! - Kurt

Today Mr. H. told us we won iPod Touches, and we did this thing about what we like about snow and what we don't like. Our table group almost got a whole page of it. - Kyra

Mr. H. told us that received an email saying if we won the grant we applied for, and lots of people thought it was a 'no' because he was doing a sad face. But then he said that we won. - Mikayla

This afternoon, our teacher Mr. H. told us we won the prize from all the pictures we sent in to ManACE, and we won $450 so that we could buy iPod Touches for our class to use to work on our assignments. - Joey

As we told you about in an earlier post, we did some brainstorming with Ms. Malkoske's class on a project we're going to be working on together. Well, I'm still not going to tell you exactly what the project is (hint: it does have something to do with Instagram). However, our two classes had applied to ManACE (Manitoba Association of Computing Educators) for a technology seed grant, in order to purchase a couple of Ipod Touch devices for each of our classes to use for the project. Well, Ms. Malkoske and I found out on the weekend that our grant application was successful, so when I told the class, they erupted with cheers! A big thank you to ManACE for considering our application, and granting us the money to purchase the devices for the class. We can hardly wait to get them, and to start using them ASAP!
