References and Guides for Funding and Teacher Technology Training

The references listed here provide a general overview of the various issues related to teacher technology training. While many do not specifically address funding, the issues they raise highlight the types of support and, therefore, resources needed for training. The list of directories and guides provide a list of potential donors. However, many of the funding sources support a limited range of activities or accept invited proposals only. While the directories will help you to identify potential funding sources, further research is required in order to determine eligibility and application procedures.
