Rural living is desirable for its small community appeal, but one of the undesirable characteristics of rural communities is limited access to technology and limited access to the Internet. Through the Innovation Grant, students at Laton High School were given an opportunity to experience 21st Century learning that connected students to the community and technology. Grant funds were used to purchase an iPad 2, an iPad Mini and accessories, which connected students to multi-media applications and web-based tools. In addition, the district used additional grant funds to purchase three iPad Mini’s in support of the project. The goal of this project was to enable students to use and demonstrate the use of modern technology.
