School System, recently attended a McREL Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works workshop, and came away inspired to break the barriers of “old-school learning” and embrace technology. The district, which recently hired a data and instructional technology coach through a school technology grant, is able to provide one-on-one training to teachers on how to take advantage of its 300 iPads and the iPad lab at its high school.
