Comments:

 * 1) Corporate Funding and Naming Rights for Computer Labs.
 * 2) Annual corporate funding for stock market investment competition. Students purchase portfolio using play money. Winning teams gets to choose how funded dollars are spent on instructional learning projects.
 * 3) Try to get industry to sponsor labs and give them naming rights. Also, have a competition to spend stock market money. The winners would get to be a part of the decision making team that designs how the money would be spent on instructional technology.
 * 4) Use Google Ad Words on Public / External Web Sites
 * 5) Place "Panther Screens" at community locations (e.g. Hair cut places, drive thru windows, etc) that would allow anyone to "shout out" or "place a private ad" similar to the year book. Split revenue with host location.
 * 6) Allow external companies to sponsor devices. (e.g. "T.X.I.-Pads")
