APS Highlights Technology Extravaganza
Written by Jennifer Stadler

APS students showed off their technical savvy recently at the APS Technology Fair. Students from each grade level submitted over 200 technology projects. The Technology Fair showcased 43 of these projects, which focused on Multimedia, Podcasting, Web 2.0, Digital Art and Video, Robotics, and Programming. Students’ projects were then judged by members of the APS community.
In addition to the student work, teachers also submitted projects for the Classroom Champion award. Jewell Elementary earned the award for their work on a Dinosaur Flipchart. Teachers at Jewell nabbed a travelling trophy and a classroom response clicker system courtesy of eInstruction for their innovative work.
Congratulations to all of the participants!
