$1.3M Technology Grant for Buffalo

The US Department of Education (DOE) has awarded a $1.3 million three-year grant to a consortium composed of the University at Buffalo’s Graduate School of Education (GSE), the UB Center for Applied Technologies in Education (CATE), the Buffalo Public Schools and WNED-TV, Channel 17. The new implementation grant will fund in-service education in the use of educational technology for teachers and pre-service teachers at 15 Buffalo schools over the course of the three-year grant. In addition, the grant will fund professional development efforts for members of the UB teacher-education faculty, so that faculty members possess the same instructional-technology skills that are being developed in the school’s teacher-education graduates. The project’s principal investigators are Donald Jacobs, Ph.D., associate dean for research and technology in the Graduate School of Education, and Suzanne Miller, Ph.D., associate professor of English education in the Department of Learning and Instruction.
