Rotary Program Chair Superintendent Christine Schieferle introduced the program on What is in Each Student’s “Educational Backpack”? Kellsie Weis and Dr. Isaac Huong explained all the new technology that the students are benefiting from. Each student k-2 received an iPad and 3-12 a laptop, charger, carrying case and Wi-Fi if they don’t have it at home. There are several programs for them to use; one is My Path with lessons to give students better skills and a test that tells teachers where they are and what they need help with. Myon Digital Library gives students the opportunity to look up books in the library, home, etc., and they can access books of their interests. Tutor.com helps students with problems in Math and Science and more. In Parsec Reel, school can ask what can they do to make the student feel safer or what are their problems? It’s a way to bring students, staff and parents together. This is a small portion of what they are doing to improve students’ education.
