| Tucson school embracing laptops, iPods for kids |
| Posted by: Susan Einhorn |
| Fourth-grader Paul Juarez has never visited the Grand Canyon in person, but he has explored the national park's rock walls and plunging depths from a 13-inch screen at Ascension Lutheran School. Paul's computer-screen trips to the Grand Canyon on his MacBook laptop were impossible three years ago at the small northwest-side school at La Canada Drive and Magee Road. Computers were absent from Ascension Lutheran classrooms, and the few used by teachers were usually second-hand. That changed in 2009 when the school bought enough Apple laptops to provide one to each of its third- through fifth-graders for use in the classroom. The school has about 100 students. |
