Children in Peter Iles classroom start the day by logging into the cloud through their new Chromebook computers. Using Google Apps for Education, the students of this split seventh- and eighth-grade classroom at Grace Lutheran School can instantly access lessons and homework while their teacher, Iles, acts as a facilitator tracking students’ work in real time and offering more individualized attention. In many ways, this educator and principal of a small private school in Oshkosh has set up the classroom of the future others in the city, state and nation are striving towards. Several private and public schools from Oshkosh are introducing mobile technology, including tablet computers and netbooks, into their classrooms for the first time this year. Five elementary schools in the Oshkosh public school district are integrating iPads into their classrooms this fall.
