QUOTES

More CDL District Testimonials

Melissa Watson, teacher at Main Elementary

"Before laptops students could only have access to whatever experiences I could provide for them on the island, and now the world is at their fingertips. One of the many unexpected benefits in this program is that students become terrific problem solvers.  When something goes wrong with their computer the students have a mental checklist that they work through to solve the problem.  As a teacher, I know they are becoming more proficient with their laptops when the problems that they bring to me are problems that I've never seen before - problems that really stump me sometimes!  It is incredibly empowering for all students to feel some degree of proficiency with such a high tech machine."

Gregorio I., student at Main Elementary

"The laptops make me feel excited about typing, science, and math."

Joseph D., student at Main Elementary

"We can speak to our new student who only speaks Japanese by going to this website that teaches us how to speak in Japanese."

Bryce M., student at Main Elementary

"During math you can learn and have fun at the same time.”

Sammy P., student at Main Elementary

“It makes me feel smarter and helps me learn more."
