Hall County school officials got a taste this week of the kind of innovative technology teachers and students are using in the classrooms. Veteran educator Aaron Turpin, who has been the school district’s technology director for the past seven years, brought three e-learning specialists to Monday’s school board meeting for a hands-on demonstration of two relatively new teaching tools — Nearpod and Gizmos. “We want to give our kids every tool possible ...,” Turpin said, as he passed out Chromebooks to board members and others at the meeting, so they too could get a feel for the kind of interactive learning taking place in classrooms throughout the district.
