What is The Compaq Collection?

The Compaq Collection is a group of success stories selected from the winners of Compaq's Teaching with Computer Technology Grant Program.

Who, What, When and Where Was This? Between August 15 and October 31, 1997, hundreds of teachers filed applications on Compaq's Web site to win a $1000.00 grant for their classrooms. They told success stories about how they used technology in the classroom. A panel of judges selected the three best entries from each state (where available) and Compaq rewarded the winners with $1000.00 each to enhance their classroom computer projects and to serve as models for other teachers.

My entry was accepted and I used the money to buy a color printer, digital camera, supplies, and speakers for our classroom.
