Deer River School District iPad Pilot
The vision for the Deer River School District centers around enabling three main things for students:
- Improve skills and achievement
- Build positive connections to others
- Encounter broad educational experiences
Strategies that the School District uses to accomplish this vision include:
- Rigorous and relevant 21st century curriculum, instruction, and resources
- Environment that stimulates positive relationships
- Maximized teacher excellence and leadership in curriculum, instruction, and assessment
- Expanded learning time
Recently, the Deer River School District has moved forward with the implementation of a pilot project using iPads which we believe will execute our strategies and help us accomplish our vision.
Goals of the Deer River iPad pilot:
- Raise student achievement through individualized learning experiences
- Increase engagement and excitement for learning
- Equip students with collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking skills
- Encourage students to communicate locally and globally
