DEC. 2, 2019: Do the people at your middle school get iPads and computers? Well here at Woodridge International, students are soaring high with their tech! Now at Woodridge 6-8th graders get iPads and 5th grades gets computers. Why give this tech to the middle schoolers of Woodridge? Well the purpose of the iPads and computers are to make sure everyone can have a piece of technology during the school day and at home. 

In this era of technology students need the most up to date technology. All of this was possible due to Woodridge’s collaboration with Verizon and their VILS (Verizon Innovative Learning) program. What is VILS? VILS is a program that helps schools bring technology to their learning curriculum.This is important because again this is the era of technology and we need the tech. 

This is good for teachers and students because now everything is on computers and iPads.  So next time you stop by Woodridge, look at the tech flow!
