Funded by the 2012 mill levy override, $2.2 million is allocated annually to educational technology for classrooms, teachers and students. Through online courses, small group discussions, mentorship opportunities and week long iPad learning camps, teachers are learning best practices for incorporating iPads and other forms of technology in their classrooms.
