Charlestown Middle School’s Jacob Goodwin admits he wasn’t always the best student. He had his share of lower grades, particularly a D in math. Now, he boasts a 97 percent — a solid A in the same subject. He was one of many students who lined the halls of the school Thursday evening to tell people what technology has done for them since they got their laptops about 3 months ago. This was all part of the school’s first Technology Fair, an event the school hopes to become an annual occurrence. “I just felt motivated now. I never seen the point of math before,” he explained as to his growth.
