Metropolitan School District of Wabash County was one of only 22 school districts of 135 that applied to receive the prestigious Classroom Innovation Grant. The IDOE believes M. S. D. of Wabash County will promote educational innovation through the use of technology.

We will be establishing model classrooms using iPads and Macbooks. Walk into one classroom and see content being delivered not through textbooks, but through on-line media. Stroll down the hall and find other students not only reading content, but writing their own on wikis and blogs. We know students learn better when they are active participants in their own learning.

One example of digital media our students will be using is the Discovery Education Techbook.  Many of our fourth, fifth, and sixth graders will be using iPads purchased through the Classroom Innovation grant along with desktop computers to access digital media through the Techbook for Science class.

We will be able to collaborate with professional educators in the county, across the state and across the world. Staff will have professional development targeted to their proficiency level in order that they may provide top quality instruction to students through enhanced use of technology.

We are very excited and humbled by the opportunities the IDOE Classroom Innovation Grant will give us.  Check back often for updates!
