Teachers at Neosho Middle School and Neosho Junior High have spent the last several months learning about an online learning management system called Canvas. “It does not replace a quality teacher,” said Mandy Lybeck, instructional technology specialist with the school district. “It is not a baby sitter; it is a tool.” The district has been evolving to meet the needs of the “digital native.” This, Lybeck said, is someone who has never lived in a world without advanced technology. To do so, the school has been pushing for a ratio of 1-to-1 with computers. This goal has been achieved in the middle school, the junior high and the high school. The lower grades are becoming closer every year.
