The U.S. Department of Education just posted a web-page with information about the education provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestement Act :
http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/leg/recovery/index.html

Check out the fact sheet that outlines the programs that will receive funding under the stimulus package. There are also state allocation charts for each program, where you can see how your advocacy efforts resulted in signficant funding increases for the Enhancing Education Through Technology program (EETT). And remember, this amount will be in addition to the FY 09 allocation that has not yet been determined. Congress will be finishing up the FY 09 appropriations bill when it returns to session next week and early March.

Other education technology related programs that received funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that are not administered by the Department of Education, include programs at the National Science Foundation, Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service program for Distance Learning and Telemedicine, and the Department of Commerce's Technology Opportunities program.

I'm also attaching attaching a link for a chart developed by the National Education Association that lists the education related programs under the stimulus bill.
