Elgin Elementary School District Superintendent Christopher Bonn announced this week that every student at the school will now have access to computer technology. Students in grades K-2 will have an Ipad assigned to them as part of their classroom materials. All students in grades 3-8 will be assigned MacBook Pro or MacBook Air laptops.
Providing these high tech tools for all students will help prepare them to “be the next generation of great leaders by teaching them critical thinking, problem solving, and research,” explains Bonn. He continues that computers will also strengthen their skills in meeting the requirements of the Arizona State College and Career Readiness Standards.
The students at Elgin School are already using these computers every day in the classroom. Bonn does add that a few more Ipads and laptops are needed to be on hand to fill in when others are being repaired. He welcomes public contributions and can be reached at 520-455-5514.
