FOX On Tech: Digital Classrooms
The reading, writing, and arithmetic done in one Indiana school district has gone all digital.
FOX News Radio’s Jennifer Keiper files this FOX on Tech report from Munster, Indiana:
FOX On Tech:
It’s a 7th grade classroom but listen:
“Click on those so it forces it all over to your done pile”.
The school district here in Munster, Indiana has gone digital; laptops instead of textbooks. When given the green light, tech mentor Theresa Dristas says they had only 3 months to jump in, but it went well.
Dristas: “Because we weren’t adopting computers, we were adopting curriculum”.
So, everyone adapted quickly.
IT Director Jarek Pozdzal also says:
Pozdzal: “The classrooms were pre-wired for student computers so we were able to reuse a lot of the existing wiring.”
Still, thousands of laptops to set-up though. Just minor glitches so far. Project Lead Rob Bradford says instead of “the dog ate my homework”:
Bradford: “The dog has eaten chargers, that does happen now.”
