It’s really cool to have these tools in the students’ hands. We’ve had a few glitches, but from what I’ve seen, things are running pretty smoothly. We still need to add a couple more wireless access points to some areas of the building and an antenna to the roof so that the modular classrooms have access too.

What I find interesting is that when the kids walk in the classroom, the first thing they do is whip out their laptops. Yeah, we will use them a lot, no doubt. But it’s a TOOL. Not everything depends on that one tool. If only they were that ambitious about opening a book….an English teacher can dream, can’t she?

Stay tuned as we continue our adventures in 21st century learning.
