USD 475 Release:
Today ( Friday ) at Junction City Middle School students will flip their day. Instead of their regular curriculum classes they will be involved in classes centered around one-to-one technology. This is all due to the one-to-one initiative that has been implemented at the middle school level of USD 475. All 6th , 7th and 8th grade students are in the process of being provided their own laptop and/or tablet to blend traditional teaching methods with the technology tools of today. Parents had to sign a permission slip for students to obtain their laptop.
The 6th and 7th grade students at JCMS have already had their tech fair day. Today the 8th grade students will follow their regular core class schedule but learn about technology. During the encore (elective) time they are in the auditorium learning computer basics and digital citizenship. The day will wrap up with a Q&A session in the auditorium. This will complete the one-to-one implementation at the middle school level at JCMS.
