Lake Taylor Students Show Off iPad Labs, Circuit-Building Projects
Summary
Lake Taylor School, an Apple Distinguished School, invited the community to see K-8 technology use: students used iPads in classrooms, iMac labs for advanced projects and sixth-graders built circuits as part of hands-on lessons.
Lake Taylor School invited community members to observe how the school uses technology to enhance teaching and learning from kindergarten through eighth grade. The district identified Lake Taylor as an Apple Distinguished School that deploys iPads in every classroom and maintains labs with iMac computers for more advanced work.
Visitors watched sixth graders build circuits using classroom tools. One student said, "It's not that hard, like, to use. It's pretty easy to use," adding that the classroom exercises break down complex tasks into steps and allow split-screen work that helps students understand concepts before trying them in real life.
Another student described assembling circuit components to try to light a bulb with assigned energy and said the hands-on work taught how technology is used in everyday life. The district encouraged families and community members to view more video stories and division-wide information through NPS digital channels.
The visit highlighted the district's emphasis on technology integration at Lake Taylor and provided a window into classroom activities intended to build practical skills in younger students.
