i-School in Classrooms



I-School, you might be thinking what's that? I was thinking the same thing when I first saw the title of the video on you tube about i-School because I have never heard of it. I-School seems like a really cool device because on one little mobile device there is so many things that students can use on it. I remember when I had to carry around my agenda, textbooks for each class, atlas, periodic table, graphing calculator, paper, pencils, and had to use my home computer at home to do homework. So I had to be at home in order to do my assignments or look something up. I still do have to carry around a calculator, textbooks, notebooks, pencils, and assignment books in college. It would be so much easier if students, teachers, and parents had one device where all of these things could be found and the device where students could find all of these resources is on a i-school device. This means that students would have everything they need on their i-School which they could access anywhere anytime. I was surprised that the i-School only costs about $150. 00 which I didn't think is too bad when the school would be saving on: paper, pencils, books, and other materials that the i-School already has on it. I know that I hope that my students and I will each have an i-School someday to use because it would be so convenient to have pretty much everything you and your students need on one small device that is easy to take anywhere and can be assessed anywhere.
