The school has no desks, no hallway lockers. Instead you will find couches, windowsill benches and at least 45 computers in each of the 6,000 square-foot neighborhoods. In the media center among thousands of books, there are two single beds to illustrate reading as a past time. Walk into any of the ten neighborhoods, and you sense immediately this place is unique. A small group engages in a lively discussion of how to present their research findings, while several students sit alone reading.
Celebration is committed to technology.
Teachers and administrators invest time and energy seeking resources. Curiously, the door has no keyhole, so I knock. Inside, there are 20 students involved in Java programming classes. The Java programs they are developing will allow the Celebration School campus to become computerized. Most impressive is that it all will be accessed by the rings on their fingers.
