IPAD'S Arrive at Bemis

Today was a very exciting day because our Kindergartners were able to experiment on the new Ipad's that Bemis received as a the result of a bond that was passed about 5 years.  The last of the money was put towards purchasing 1 class set of them per elementary school.  We were very excited to get to test them our with our buddies yesterday.  The Ipad's are going to be a wonderful tool that will be available for all grades.  Last year I passed on an interesting article from the Wall Street Journal regarding handwriting and how tools such as the Tablet, Ipad, Droids, etc were giving practicing handwriting a boost.  I have attached the link.  http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704631504575531932754922518.html Wall Street Journal Handwriting Article
Yesterday we mainly just explored with our buddies in Mr. Cottone's class.  I know that many of the students have had practice already on Mom and Dad's at home.
