With applications that support interactive learning, students can engage with subjects in a more dynamic way, such as through educational games, videos, and simulations. Tablets also allow for collaborative projects, enabling students to work together in real-time, regardless of their location. Additionally, teachers can utilize tablets for organizing lessons, assigning tasks, and giving instant feedback. The portability of tablets means that learning can extend beyond the classroom, encouraging students to explore and research on their own. Overall, integrating tablets into the school environment fosters a more engaging, flexible, and personalized educational experience. \r\n\r\nMy students are excited that I can record my lessons during class and upload them to Google Classroom if they miss a lecture. For my athletic girls, I can instantly record games to upload them to Hudl or provide immediate playback. This technology enhances their learning experience and ensures they never miss important content.","fullyFundedDate":1742783218693,"projectUrl":"project/bright-future/8973983/","projectTitle":"Bright Future","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Grays","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9700976_orig.png?crop=697,697,x295,y526&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724383451132","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9700976"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9298","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":552,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":75,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":80.6,"schoolId":9298,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tarkington High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tarkington High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/tarkington-independent-school-district/tarkington-high-school/9298"}
