The students' creations were part of the second annual Technology Showcase on Wednesday, an interactive event designed to show how students use technology in the classroom. Many of the exhibits involved computer programs and activities that were designed, built and operated by students. There are a lot of teachers and students who don't know what happens in other parts of the school. A Spanish version also was built. The school's Web site, which includes a new, student-designed online registration feature, was the highlight of another booth.
Technology is wonderful.
The class has convinced him to make a career out of computer programming and repair, Easton said. It's something that my parents don't know about, my teachers don't know about. It's something I can do that not too many others can. The Junior ROTC students let visitors use a computer flight simulator that guided pilots through landing a small plane at Owensboro-Daviess County Airport. But technology doesn't always mean computers, said Cheryl Purdy, an Apollo computer teacher.
