The Vision

“We need technology in every classroom and in

every student and teacher’s hand, because it

is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens

through which we experience much of our

world.” David

Warlick (Educator/Author)

Getting Organized• In biology, my book is online so

I don’t have to carry my book and I do my homework on the iPad.

• In French class, I organize myself better by getting apps to put my homework in, taking, notes and having a calendar.

• Most of the papers and hand-outs are online so you don’t have to worry about forgetting them or losing them.
