Schools Push for More Mobile Devices

by Julie Wootton, Magic Valley

The Twin Falls School District wants more mobile computing devices — such as laptops and tablets — in its classrooms. Under a five-year technology plan, the district aims to have one device for every two students, director of operations Brady Dickinson told school trustees in December. “If the state allocation for technology continues, I think we can get there.” The district — which recently wrapped up the first year of its technology plan — receives about $200,000 each year in state tech money. Among 13 schools, there are 2,183 mobile computing devices for students to use — one for every four students.
