Aberdeen, WA - The apple on the teacher's desk got a lot bigger today at Miller Junior High School in Aberdeen, as teacher's initiated a 1-to-1 iPad program. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn said after the assembly "This is a game changer for kids, it's bringing everything into the 21st century matching up with a 21st century education. This is an example not only for the state, but for the nation."
Representatives from Apple Inc. were shown around the polished product after the assembly, West Area Strategic Affairs Leader Renee Sinclair said "I'm really excited that we're doing this here in Aberdeen, I think this is a great community to be at the leading edge of classroom technology."
Within view of Miller is Steven's Elementary, where Principal Kathleen Werner gave Dorn and Apple Inc the grand tour of her school's STEM program. "It's a paradigm shift that hast to happen for kids. We Want to keep school sometimes the way we went to school, these guys have a different future than we do."
Miller Bobkittens, and Steven's Huskies both check their iPads out every morning, and turn them into their last classroom each day. More details tomorrow morning, after a recharge, now where did that cord go?
