The addition of iPads in the Middle School is not the only place on campus where mobile technology is being implemented. Two of our Upper School math teachers, Heather Benton and Alison Passmore are assisting their students in understanding math concepts. By using QR codes the students can access content related videos on the go.
In their study of the Periodic Table, the Upper School chemistry classes accessed interactive tables at www.chemicool.com to research the history, properties, and uses of elements.
In the Middle School, the eighth grade history classes are hard at work on their projects for the National History Day competition. Last Friday, they were introduced to Evernote. Evernote is a digital binder that will allow them to collect and organize their research. The students have the opportunity to present their work in a variety of ways including: a paper, an exhibit, a performance, a documentary, or a web site. We look forward to seeing their amazing work.
