"At HP, we strive to go beyond providing technology for the classroom by supporting systemic improvements in teaching and learning," said Bess Stephens, vice president, Philanthropy and Education, HP. "By doing so, we enable more people to gain access to new opportunities, prepare more effectively for the future and ultimately achieve greater economic success in our communities." HP's education grants have provided the necessary tools to help schools across the country achieve a higher level of involvement and participation with their students. "HP's support has allowed us to put in the wireless infrastructure for faculty, staff and students," said Archie Holmes, associate professor in electrical and computer engineering, University of Texas-Austin, and a past HP grant recipient. "The HP technology helped the instructor better assess in real time how well students were understanding course material. He asked questions, got answers from students and could modify his lecture based on students' understanding. Consequently, the instructor was able to spend time more productively, using more customized instruction that met the needs of the class as a whole." K-12 grants HP is awarding $5.3 million in cash and equipment to teams of five teachers at 151 kindergarten-12th grade public schools across the country. Preference was given to schools serving low-income students and to those proposing projects with a math or science component. The award package, valued at more than $35,000 for each school team, will include five HP Tablet PCs, five HP multimedia projectors, an HP Officejet all-in-one, an HP digital camera, HP K-12 help desk support for one year, a $500 stipend per teacher and a professional development program that includes customized learning opportunities, expert mentoring and participation in an online learning community to support teachers' use of technology. The professional development program will be delivered on HP's behalf by ISTE. To complement HP's award, Microsoft will donate Microsoft(R) Office 2003 and OneNote 2003 software for use by the teachers and mentors. Grant participants will use the technology in many ways to encourage and develop student learning.

A university in Wisconsin will utilize the technology to pioneer mobile teaching techniques for science courses in an effort to address the growing demand for health science professionals and engineers in southern Wisconsin. A community college in Massachusetts will leverage the technology for improved critical and quantitative analyses, increasing opportunities for Web-based and in-field biology experiments -- with the aim of improving student skills and interest in math and science fields.
