HHS to give students an Apple
By next spring, each of the more than 1,000 students at Hastings High School will have their own laptop computers.
On Monday, the Hastings Board of Education voted 7-1 in favor of the motion to purchase 1,000 Macbook Air laptops to start a one-to-one computer program at the high school. Board member Brent Gollner cast the only opposing vote on the issue.
“The challenge for us is to hopefully transform what that educational experience is like,” HHS principal Jay Opperman said. “My hope is that our kids are authentically engaged more than they are compliantly engaged with these machines.”
