Cherry Hills Christian

CHC To Introduce iPads in 2012-2013
All students in Grades 1-8 will carry iPads

After two years of research, school visits and extensive planning with our Information Technology department, Cherry Hills Christian is ready to roll out a "One-to-One" iPad program in grades one through eight. It was not long after we equipped all of our classrooms with Promethean interactive whiteboards that we started looking ahead to this next piece of technology that will certainly enhance learning.

Apple trainers and consultants have endorsed our course:

Teachers received iPads before Christmas break and are receiving extensive training in the months to come.
Fifth grade students will pilot iPads after Spring Break.
Students in Grades 1-8 will receive their iPad as we roll them out during the 2012-2013 school year.

Statistics already show greater cognitive learning and improved classroom engagement when students use iPads. We are excited to see that happen at CHC. However, iPads will merely be a new tool to give greater depth to content knowledge and skill practice. We will not use iPads for gaming nor will iPads replace teacher instruction and discipleship.

Parents of students entering Grades 1-5 next year!
