Francis Marion Teachers Get Training with New iPads

From the West Alabama Newsroom–

A Perry County school will have a new high-tech tool to aid in the learning process when students return to school in the fall.

Teachers at Francis Marion High School have been training with their new ipads for the past few days this week.

School officials say the training session was a way for teachers to become familiar with their device.

They say it also allowed teachers to discuss ways the technology could be used in the classroom.

“We can use our ipads to take notes,” said 4th grade teacher Ericka Woods. “We can use our ipads to do reports, experiments, virtual field trips things like that.”

“Its just no limit to what we’re going to be able to do as far as exciting teachers and students,” said superintendent John Heard.

Heard says students at the school will also get new ipads next school year.

Perry County Schools was one of three school systems in the state to get the grant.
