Holly Blocker’s geometry students at Northeastern Wisconsin Lutheran High School bring to class compasses, rulers and protractors. This year, they’re also carrying iPads. The school, like several others in the area, launched a one-to-one program this year, and is providing tablet computers to each of its 125 students to use both in the classroom and at home. Educators say the devices enhance classroom learning and also encourage students to become familiar with technology they will use later in life. N.E.W. Lutheran High School has been in session for about a week and the iPads are in full use. Blocker said she’s taught her students a number of applications they can use on the iPad — such as a math glossary and math reference site. She teachers math to all four high school grades.
