John McGregor Secondary School in Chatham is wired for the 21st century. The school has gone completely wireless, said Ryan Swayze, the school’s computer site administrator. “We’re encouraging all our students to bring in their technology,” he said. Laptop computers, tablets, mobile devices are all welcome in the classroom to assist student learning. Swayze is especially proud of another recent accomplishment at McGregor. “We are one of only three schools in Ontario to have our own mobile application,” Swayze said. The computer science teacher started the project by demonstrating a few Android app’s and then thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to produce an app for the school. “I just tried to give them a real world experience of what we’re doing in class and how it would apply to stuff they’re doing with their mobile phones and technology these days,” Swayze said.
