 I'm Parker Wagnold, a student at Mid-Pacific. I would like to talk to you today about technology in my school. My generation had to just learn about technology. We accept it and use it in everything. We grew up with technology. We learned to use an iPad even before we could walk. That's awesome, but it comes with a challenge. We cannot opt out. Technology is here to stay. Personally, I love technology, and I feel that Mid-Pac wouldn't be the same had it not integrated technology this way into the classroom. It's not just about learning technology. It's about using technology to learn other subjects. Everyone in school is issued an iPad, and our reading, study, and test materials are accessed mostly online. I read, do my homework, and then turn it in online. I get feedback from my teachers by email, and I upload my assignments. I do collaborative work with other students, and I manage my schedule all on the Internet. It's very cool. All of this is teaching us to use technology in a productive and meaningful way. I know other schools have done similar things, but what we do at Mid-Pac is unique. Mid-Pac has many classes with this technology, and they are fun and educational. This gets us ready for the future because it leads us to great career choices, such as being a video editor or a producer. I'm so glad Mid-Pac has taken the lead in putting this technology into the classroom, and I'm proud to be a student there. Thanks. I'm Parker Weignold.
