My students live in a rural Kentucky community, in a school with over 65% of our population on a free/reduced lunch program. But, they fully embrace the technologically proficient society we live in! From smart phones for texting, social media outlets, video chats and games to home game systems and computers, they're all over it! Except when they come to school. They must revert back to pencil and paper exercises with maybe a VHS thrown in. My building currently serves the 7th and 8th graders in our entire district, and we're adding 6th grade next school year. They crave a connection between school and "real life." They love the hands-on lab experiments we do in class and embrace the challenge of learning something new in a way that is different from elementary school. We have iPads in our library that can be 'checked out' but availability is sparse as they are shared among a staff of over 20 teachers, not counting support staff and paraprofessionals.
