Cary Academy, Cary, NC opened school this year as a Tablet PC school.
A record enrollment of 711 students filled the classrooms, and each student received a new tablet PC. Cary Academy is now a tablet environment and all rooms and the campus are wired for Internet access.
The imaging of the 708 tablets finished Aug. 10. Imaging consisted of placing the programs students will use for classes onto the tablets, along with the drives needed to print and scan and all the curriculum programs.
Over two days, Aug. 10-11, 12 volunteers, consisting of students, faculty and staff, assembled the 708 tablets into bags. Each bag contains the tablet and sleeve the tablet goes in, and all the peripherals: jump drive, AC adaptor, instruction booklets, luggage tag.
Kudos, Cary Academy. You’re showing by example how to live your school motto: Discovery, Innovation, Collaboration, Excellence – a co-educational college preparatory day school that offers a superior college preparatory education .
Cary Academy received a 2004 No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon Award.
Congratulations! Many of us will follow your progress with deep interest.
“Tablet PC schools, you go!” says the Tablet PC Guy.
