With the new school year upon, one local district is taking steps to bring more technology into their classrooms.

Shortly after the new year, Heyworth schools will introduce technology into their classrooms. Superintendent Dr. Ty Wolf feels adding technology to the classroom will help enhance the learning experience of their students.

For Dr. Wolf, the staff of the district have done their due diligence in preparing for introducing technology into the classroom. He notes teachers have taken part in all sorts of professional development.

According to Dr. Wolf, Google has created many resources aimed at instruction in the classroom and that combined with the resources available to anyone, it makes the possibilities for teachers almost endless.

Dr. Wolf believes technology will make learning more fun for students but it can enhance strategies already used by teachers. He says they plan to introduce their Google Chrome devices a few weeks into the new school year.
