On Oct 1 DonorsChoose opened their Blogger Challenge 2008 to help spread the word about a great model for charitable giving. It's simple: Teachers ask. You choose, Students learn. Click the badge below to learn more and bring some light to classrooms where any contribution can make a difference. You'll feel good on a person-to-person level, and help children succeed in life. |

| I learned about DonorsChoose.org through a Dec 2007 holiday gift from Google Ads making a starter donation for a project I could chose, rather than sending trinkets. Good for Google! |
| Of the many great local projects, the one that hit me was a math teacher asking for a LCD projector to follow up on the great response from 4th grade students when she was able to borrow the only LCD projector in the school one day a week for a special end of year project. |
| This is in an urban school district with very tight budgets and almost 90% of the students receiving free lunch. |
| An LCD projector is the sort of tool that's cut when absolute necessities are hard to afford - but can make an enormous difference in engaging kids in learning. The teacher made a case that was heartfelt and compelling. I topped off the starter gift and felt great. |
| Let's get some of this affordable tech gear in the hands of teachers who will value both the donation and vote of confidence. |
| Projectors can help many kids over a period of years. Choose your own favorite and let there be light! |
