SA technology committee researches laptop program

Berne Tri-Weekly News:

Myra Moore, director of technology at South Adams Schools, updated the board on the 1:1 laptop computer program during Tuesday evening’s school board meeting. She started by recognizing the teachers and support staff that served on the district technology council this past year.

“They were committed to our goals and played a huge role in our accomplishments,” said Moore.

The committee developed a 1:1 laptop proposal for the high school students and is ready to present it to the school board for review. Moore suggested setting up a school board work session to discuss the proposal in detail.

Other topics they discussed were how to inform the teachers about tools and resources available to them. One way they came up with was an after school tech fair for teachers and staff. It is scheduled to take place from 3:15 to 5:15 p.m. on March 1.
