Well, we finally got our class set (6) of iPad 2s. Sweet! I'd like to give a very big "shout out:" of thanks and support to Mr. Jim Speth, who brought them to us and got us going. And of course, a big shout out to Mr. Ernesto Centeno, who along with Mr. Speth is spearheading the MIT program for our district. Without them, and all the others involved, we'd probably be stuck in the 20th century, if you know what I mean.
The kids are more than excited. They definitely want to learn more about using these great tools. Several students have stayed for hours after school helping to find, download, and organize great apps for us to use. That right there shows the engaging power of technology in education. That's great for the students in so many ways. These experiences and skills are really what they need, along with the traditional aspects of education and knowledge, to get ahead and be ready for life in this Digital Age.
I can't wait to see what they are able to learn, and how they're going to be able to show it. I'm sure they're ready, too.
