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:
“Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“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)
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
