UMD Tech Camp 16: Spring 2013

Incentives:

• A $1000 grant or stipend (taxable) for your exclusive use.
• Up to 20 hours of assistance after Tech Camp.

Purchases:

Purchases must be made for:

• educational hardware or software relating to Tech Camp and to facilitate teaching and learning.
• travel to a teaching and learning conference.
• a stipend (taxable).

Required Report:

• Your final report should include detailed information about how you have met, or will shortly meet, the goals that you set prior to attending Tech Camp. Please send your final report via email to Linda Deneen at ldeneen@d.umn.edu.
• Your incentive funding will not be released until you have completed all Tech Camp assignments and demonstrated through your report that your goals have been met. You must show that the course(s) you identified in your original proposal, or a substitute course, has or shortly will be offered online, based on your work at Tech Camp.
• ITSS will transfer $500 directly to your department budget after you submit your final Tech Camp report. Within your final report please include the EFS number into which we can transfer the funds. Your college will match these funds.

Some of you may wish to add features to a hardware purchase using your own money. This is fine, but please be aware that if you leave the University the hardware/software remains the property of the University and can be assigned to someone else.

Choosing Your Hardware/Software

We recommend checking the Computer Corner Web page for links to vendor sites and possible educational pricing for hardware and software. If you would like personal assistance, visit the Computer Corner on the first floor of Kirby Student Center, or contact Jim Kolar via email (jkolar@d.umn.edu) or phone (8735). Microsoft products are available as part of the Microsoft Campus Agreement. To see what software is available from the University, please see the ITSS Software page.
