Information technology is rapidly evolving and the Lambton Kent District School Board is trying to envision the impact it will have on the classroom of the future. Local public school administrators, educators, trustees and students gathered for a TALK Taking Action Lambton Kent workshop Friday to discuss information technology, particularly the growing popularity of personal electronic devices such as iPhones, Smartphones, iPods and laptop computers. Director of education Jim Costello said the board is in the middle of developing a multiyear strategic plan with the goal to have it in place for next September. “Part of that will be . . . what the 21st century class should look it,” he said. “Woven through that and the thread and the fabric of how students learn is information technology.”
