NORTH MIAMI BEACH SENIOR AWARDED $45,000 TECH GRANT When students at North Miami Beach Senior returned for the new school year they were greeted by smiling teachers, new lesson plans, No. 2 pencils, and new technology in their classrooms. North Miami Beach Senior High School was one of two grand prize winners of the 12th-annual Win a Wireless Lab Sweepstakes, from CDW-G, a leading provider of technology solutions and services to education, government and healthcare, and Discovery Education, the leading provider of digital content and professional development for K-12 classrooms. North Miami Beach Senior received $45,000 in technology grants, including on-site professional development from CDW-G and Discovery Education and a $5,000 Discovery Education digital media reward. North Miami Beach has big plans for its technology lab, sharing the resources among select American history classrooms. “We are committed to using these resources to achieve the greatest impact to student learning,” said Randy Milliken, principal for North Miami Beach Senior High School. “We empowered our teachers to develop lesson plans that integrate the technology in meaningful ways to improve instruction and student achievement.” The schools were randomly selected from more than 417,000 entries from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Since its inception, the Win a Wireless Lab Sweepstakes has awarded almost $2 million in classroom technology, including complete mobile classrooms implemented in 33 schools across 21 states. # # # 14-DGD/109/TC
