I couldn’t resist posting this great grant/contest opportunity sponsered by the National Education Association (NEA) for all you Biology Teachers out there!

2009 Froguts Inc. Biology Teaching Enhancement Grant

Win a Year’s Subscription to Virtual Dissection Software!

If you’re like me, with all the things you’re asked to each day in your classroom, it’s probably a wonder that you get any labs done at all! Well here’s an opportunity to score an AMAZING virtual dissection tool not only for yourself, but for your entire school!

In addition to time constraints, you might also have students who cannot perform actual “real-life” dissections for a multitude of reasons. Yet another reason to enter this grant competition!
