Maryvale Technology

Here we are at the end of our second full week of school and all of the students now have their iPads. How cool is that?!?

The 6th graders were so excited to bring their iPads to school today. They are all set up on our network and are ready to learn with this new tool!

Here are some comments this week from students and teachers about the iPads:

• I don't know what I did before I got the iPad!
  
• It is like an extension of my arm - I am always using it.
• The girls are so good at using their iPads already.
• It fits in my backpack, and I can get on the Internet to check edline for my classes when a teacher asks me to.
• It helps me prepare for classes or quizzes. It makes it easier to get the information I need faster and more efficiently. I also enjoy getting emails immediately.
• [It is] so much easier to follow along with the teacher and take notes.
• Teachers have emailed me back so much faster than they did last year. It saves me from stressing over minor issues and helps me to gain information fast.
• We can have instant access to the Internet anywhere on campus. This makes writing papers, studying and accessing information so much easier and quicker than any other years.

It is such an exciting time to be student at Maryvale!
