iPads are an educational transformation tool which allows teachers to differentiate instruction and gives students the freedom to explore learning in new and exciting ways.
Education is no longer limited to an environment of walls where a teacher lectures in front of the classroom. Students need tools to bolster learning, create, communicate, organize, and establish excellent time management skills: the iPad is that tool for Ascension!
Ascension uses digital books from Apple’s iBooks and other online publishers. We continue to research options to update and maintain a challenging curriculum.
Ascension provides each student an iPad 4 or Air and protective cover.
Our faculty attend a minimum of five workshops/conferences per year pertaining to using iPads effectively in the classroom as well as individual research to remain current with how the tool is used. Some of the conferences attended by our faculty include:
- iSummit
- KySTE
- eTech
- Lausanne
