I am looking for some feedback on the implementation of technology at Joplin High School and the three Joplin middle schools.
How is it working?
Is it working?
What have the positive aspects of the IPads and laptops been?
What have the negatives been?
Have they been a good investment for the Joplin R-8 School District?
Please feel free to comment. Thanks.

I hate my laptop. It's slow and breaks down all the time. Want my books back! Hate school now.
We will just now see what the true capabilities the iPads can have now that East is back. I was there tonight and I cannot believe what I saw. Think of the standard school building - the hallways, the classrooms, the layout...basically every school follows the same blueprint. Now if you rip that to shreds and decide to start from scratch and design a school with the main goal being to create opportunities for students to grow, learn, collaborate and build skills necessary in today's world and voila EAST!!! It is so awesome. Two and a half years in the dog food district was worth the reward of going to the best middle school not only in Joplin but one of the nest in the country. The teachers are fabulous and they care about the kids. Being forced to go to school at the warehouse changed the dynamics of the kids at East. I hear about the bullying that goes on at South and North and I am so glad things worked out like they did for my daughter. Guess there was a silver lining in that tornado. I wish you wouldn't have shown the blatant disrespect you had for your bosses so that you could be there too turner. I think you would have been able to do your best teaching in this new environment at East.
The iPads care what kind of building they're in? Oh man. That was either Angie or CJ or the prelude to the board campaign in order to cover up the fact that the old (18 months old) East did not need to be torn down and the kids could have been back in it two years ago instead of in that dog food district. Your daughter, if said child exists, goes to school not in the dog food district. She goes to school in the most corrupt district in the country. I could've lived with the original model and had thousands of tax dollars still in my pocket.
