Timpanogos Intermediate School, in Wasatch School District, has an enrollment of 800 plus students. This year every fifth grader was issued a netbook during the first week of school. Next year, every student in the school will have their own netbook. In this presentation, we will discuss the philosophy behind the choice to use netbook computers, how this program was funded, the annual deployment and recovery of the computers, how they have been used over the last year, the maintenance program for the netbooks, and other fascinating things we have encountered along the way.
In this presentation learn how Wasatch School District has leveraged iTunesU to enhance the experience of the substitute teacher and celebrate student work. Substitute teachers facilitate learning at Wasatch High School because of iTunesU. iTunesU has also worked well as a tool to motivate students in utilizing their planning, writing, critical thinking, and creativity in implementing what they are learning in the classroom. We will give you a short peek at the start to finish process of setting up your own iTunesU presence. iTunesU, a tool for any public classroom, not just the universities.
