Notes de l'éditeur
- Less money ($557-million shortfalls, millions in cuts, my own children's school lost title1 and 30k in $$ for athletics) Less resources- all businesses are doing more with less Bill Gates and crew coming in w/tech- it is not THE answer, but part of the equation Parent Trigger Laws- will we see an uptick in parental involvement in schools hardest hit?

- less money- indiegogo and kickstarter (kids make a video detailing journey) How to win at kickstarter: All projects that reach 30% of their funding goal, meet the goal. Share your journey, your creative process, make your "audience" part of your project. -frequent updates on your project page (use twitter, constant contact and/or facebook to remind people) -people need to share your project to help get enough people to fund it, so be very specific about how you're going to ask people to share your campaign -your campaign will have lulls... prepare for them by having fresh content ready ahead of time. -reach out to your regional press, bloggers, patch.com Technical Steps and Stats -5-7 is the ideal number of reward tiers -most pledges will come from your $25 tier -$100 tier will make you the most money -check the fees. different platforms charge different fees and with some, you loose all the money if you don't reach your goal.
- less resources- identify, research, gamify (cut through the noise) codespell, hakitzu, tynker, khan, mathblaster, chess, minecraft
