Sue Johnson, Principal at Fort Yukon School

“Students are using their laptops in classrooms as an educational tool. They are more engaged in their learning as they begin to see the practical applications of technology in education.”

“November 20th was a historic day for the Fort Yukon School. Sixty middle and high school students received their laptops as part of the AASB 1 to 1 laptop project. As one of only 19 schools in Alaska to participate in this project everyone was especially proud to receive their laptop. The excitement in the building was palpable as students eagerly awaited for their personal computer to be handed to them. They wasted no time turning them on to discover applications such as iMovie, iDVD, iTunes, Photo Booth, and many others.”

“That evening students brought their parents to school for show and tell. It was wonderful to see so many students teaching their families how to use the laptop. Now, a week later, students are using their laptops in classrooms as an educational tool.  Students are more engaged in their learning as they begin to see the practical applications of technology in education.”
