So, I walk around the corner and this is what I see. Two future CCSD students. One with an iPad and the other with an iPhone watching and learning! Our county’s current 4 and 2 year-olds are in a different technology age than I grew up in! The future is bright for our county!...Mark Smith, WMS Principal

BYLD Initiative Technology Literacy Social Media Technology Budget Recommendations

“I thought it was nuts when it was introduced. I couldn’t have been more wrong!” …Greg Ross, SHS Latin Teacher "The ability to use BYLD devices in my class has proven to have tremendous value enabling me to achieve a higher level of performance. Quizlet is a website that helps me learn my Latin vocabulary words using electronic flashcards. The use of BYLD devices in the classroom puts learning in my hands, giving me a productive and interesting way to study in the comfort of my own device. In class, I am able to participate at a faster pace when we are given quizzes or review work. Ultimately, the use of technology has allowed me to learn in a comfortable hands-on fashion that allows me to strive for excellence!“ …SHS Student
