New technology welcomes students in Western Springs

 
Teachers are finding new ways to use technology in school due to the 30 Google Chromebooks the fifth-grade classrooms at John Laidlaw Elementary School received.  Students take advantage of Google Documents, an application that allows them to write an essay on their computer and then the teacher and other students can read and edit it online.  Klem helped get the Chromebooks to the school. She got very excited when she found out all the different Apps for Education Suite that Google provided. Klem records reading discussions to the laptops, which allows her to pic out key points the students made and allows parents to be able to hear their child participating in the discussion.  Klem tells us the best part of the new Chromebooks is that the students are so excited and motivated.
