Technology
The Norwalk High School One-to-One project has been developed over several years focusing on a specific class and providing additional training for that instructor. The project involves using a tablet computer (iPad) which allows students and staff the opportunity to enter information with the conventional keyboard or with an active stylus that allows students to write or ink their work much like a piece of paper and a pencil. Because of this, physical materials such as pens, paper, and textbooks are no longer required.
The following classes use this program: English IV, AP English, Honors English III, English III, Honors English II, Anatomy and Physiology, AP American History, US Gov't & Economics, Senior Social Studies, AP Psychology, AP Government and Politics, Teen Leadership Corps., Spanish IV and V, AP Calculus, AP Computer, Precalculus, Trigonometry, Statistics, Honors Algebra II, Algebra II, Physics, Environmental Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Principles of Engineering, OR any other Honors Class, Junior Class, or Senior Class NOT listed.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
