School may be out for students, but district administrators and school IT professionals are still busy at work making plans for how to best leverage the education stimulus package funds.
To help schools access the latest technology, Acer, the number one vendor of netbooks worldwide and a market leader for notebook and overall PC technology, is offering an opportunity to test its products with a free trial for a chance to win a new computer lab outfitted with Acer and Intel technology, which includes up to 30 systems each of netbooks, desktops and LCDs. Three runner-up winners also will win Acer and Intel technology for an entire classroom of 30 netbooks.
To enter Acer’s Education Technology Initiative, school district staff members and teachers must submit an application by August 31, 2009, at www.acer.com/us/k12.
How it works
The Acer Education Technology Initiative gives schools access to a free 30-day trial of the Acer Aspire One Netbook.
Weighing less than three pounds, the Acer Aspire One is an award-winning netbook noted for its lightweight and powerful technology. After the 30-day trial, applicants can choose to either return the product free of charge and shipping or purchase the netbook at a special price only available to applicants. In September, all applicants will be entered into a random drawing to determine winners for the computer lab and classroom technology prizes outfitted by Acer and Intel.
