Friday was our very first day with iPads! Walking through the halls in the morning, I could feel the excitement and joy the kids were experiencing! If the staff at Dighton High School had any doubts as to whether or not the kids would enjoy the new learning tool, those fears were quickly squelched. I had several students already wanting to share cool apps they had found that would be great for English class. It’s so nice to see how they truly appreciate this opportunity.
Most classes on Friday were spent downloading apps and English was no exception. Did we experience slow Internet? Sometimes. Were there some problems? Yes. Did it get a little noisy? Of course. So I had to ask myself, is it worth it to deal with these issues? And the answer is yes! The iPads are already changing the way I teach and the structure of my curriculum. And I couldn’t be happier!
Dighton students are blessed with a unique opportunity. We are really on the “cutting edge” with our technology. Students will leave Dighton with an education, a strong foundation in math, English, social studies, and science. They will have experienced music, art, industry, and living. But most importantly, they will be prepared to thrive in a world based on and around technology.
