The expanding and constantly innovating technology industry in America today has motivated high school teachers and company leaders alike to bring technology and computer science into the secondary school classroom as both learning tools and a means to inspire students to pursue these fields in the future. 41 NBC reports that teachers at Westside High School in Georgia are integrating electronic books, tests, and interactive learning materials in a teaching style that is known as blended learning. Westside, which was awarded a grant for blended learning two years ago, combines classroom lectures with online student assignments and interactive activities. The school has given students small laptop computers and personalized accounts that enable them to track their academic progress, access course materials and assignments, and receive individual feedback from teachers.
