A high school filled with technology

WOW! This is what school should be like. I wonder how they are funding these classes as we are stuggling to buy paper and pencil in my district.

Harrison Central High's use of technology lends itself to multiple practical and exploratory applications. The technology allows the students to improve their performance in both their physical and academic activities by recording and displaying clear and tangible evidence that students could easily interpret and understand. As one of the science teachers suggested, the key is that the integration of technology in the traditional curriculum leads to discovery, and what enhances the experience of discovery is the cooperation and collaboration with peers.

Since my interests lie in language arts, I would like to see how technology integration works in that field of instruction. The interactive quality of technology would remove some of the anxiety associated with literary study or with understanding grammar and composition.
