The Connections Grant was designed to leverage the transformative use of digital content in the classroom, at home, and in the community. Grantees will also model the use of technologies that are most frequently used by students and that many already have at home in order to facilitate the extension of learning time from campus to home. Connections grantees will model teaching and learning practices that use digital content and innovative media tools; will model teaching and learning strategies that meet 21st Century competencies; and will demonstrate a high level of student technology literacy skills. Connections grantees must emphasize flexible learning schedules and flexible learning approaches, which may include extended campus learning hours to increase the availability of Internet access and technology for students and parents.
