After all the hush hush is over... I have exciting news! Our school here in Nanwalek is one of 114 school ACROSS the nation to recieve a grant from Apple, and we are the only school in Alaska!
Monday, October 17th, Nanwalek School got news that they were one of the final recipiants of an Apple grant through the White House connected initiative. This grant will help provide the students to the latest technology and learning tools. This will help provide the students in the classroom with the features as it transforms their learning, exploration, and creativity.
What does this mean? Each student and teacher here at the school will receive an iPad for instruction. This will allow the teachers to deliver the instruction in an entirely new way, and the students will be able to access an entirely new method of learning as well.
This is a huge success for the school and we look forward to the new opportunities that will come with this opportunity.
CONGRATULATIONS Nanwalek School!!
