Jana Shafer works with 75 students from 4 Region IX Member Districts April 30th, 2014. Using iPads, Apple TV, and some borrowed wifi in Lincoln students listened individually on iPads to a Song about Billy the Kid. Typing their responses on the iPads, they then responded to pre-developed questions relating to the singer/songwriter being a friend or an enemy of Billy. After writing their responses and finding evidence to support those responses students were able to orally defend their choice to their peers. A typical comment from chaperons, parents and teachers went something like this: "What a nice field trip, the kids were much more engaged and it really became meaningful to them."
