Earlier this week, Newton Community School District superintendent Steve McDermott announced the Iowa Speedway Foundation would be making a donation toward the one-to-one iPad program at Newton Senior High School.

The donation of $10,000 will ensure that all four grade levels at the high school are able to participate in the one-to-one program. The one-to-one program brings modern technology into every aspect of the learning process by equipping each student with his or her own iPad tablet computer.

NHS isn’t the first school in Iowa to take this technological leap, but it is far from the last. And those who have taken this approach to modernizing their educational process have seen immediate, amazing results.
