School District Purchases iPads

An Educational Investment
by Max Frommelt

  The school entered a new era of education as iPads were issued to each freshman student this fall. Since iPads are for educational purposes, each one is full of educational apps, such as EBackpack, which lists all of the students’ assignments and indicates if it has been graded or not.  The other app that is commonly used is the Scan app. This allows teachers to make QR codes for use in the classroom. The student scans the QR code which brings up different web sites or activities for the student to do. The goal of this project is introduce technology into the classroom to give the students a more hands on experience. Many students and teachers are excited to begin this next generation of learning.
