Amy Stamm was hired by the Cornwall-Lebanon School District 16 years ago to teach students keyboarding – on electric typewriters. “I’ve seen a lot of changes,” said Stamm, the Cedar Crest High School business department chairwoman. “There is certainly more available in most classrooms.” These days, Stamm uses an online virtual business program for her business students at Cedar Crest that allows them to make real-time decisions in real-world scenarios. Meanwhile, social studies teacher Rick Dissinger asks his students to use their cell phones to text answers to a question that will then appear instantly on a screen during class to determine if students understood the lesson.
