Schools take classroom learning one step further.
Whether students are learning about presidents of the past from a slide show on the computer or mastering computer skills with computer software programs, Ontario School District youth are incorporating technology into their school assignments. One of the classes at Aiken Elementary is studying President Lincoln, so Carr put together a show on the computer to go along with the lesson or book the students are using. Other topics Carr has used are from books a class is currently studying, like the story of Ruby Bridges. Then, Carr creates a literary show on the computer to accompany the book's material. After Carr finds what subjects other teachers are studying, she does more research before designing a lesson on the computer.
