Staff Writer Recently, Lakeridge Jr. High was given an amazing opportunity by being allowed to use one of Apple's most popular electronic devices, the iPad. Using iPads all around Lakeridge Jr. High has allowed students to expand their learning electronically. It makes learning easier and faster in the classroom. “It wasn't until the last few years that we were allowed to use the laptop and iPad carts,” states Mr. Kelly, a Publications, L.A. and Communications teacher at Lakeridge Jr. High. Using iPads and Chromebooks has gotten countless of assignments finished without the hassle of getting out textbooks. The Chromebooks and iPads are shared with every teacher and staff member that requests to use them. Lakeridge Jr. High got the funding for these innovative electronic devices though the school's incredible Parent Club and fundraisers such as Oktoberfest. “The use of iPads and Chromebooks in classrooms and at school is very important in the learning process for students,” claims Jamison Ryals, a student at Lakeridge Jr. High. Hopefully, schools will be given the opportunity to use more technology throughout the Lake Oswego School District. Technology helps expand the thinking and learning of an increasing number of students. Comments are closed.
