How Times Have Changed with the Internet
by Abigail Davis
It is 2003 and you just turned in your big final project. Plot twist: you wrote it with a pencil and turned it in on paper. Now you are going to the library to turn in the books you signed out. You go home after school and do your homework on paper using your textbook written in 1999. You listen to your MP3 player while you finish your homework. When you finish, you go outside and mow the lawn...
Sounds weird right? Today, computers, chromebooks, and iPhones are the center of our learning and entertainment.

Engineer & Broadcast Students
Participate in Workshop
Engineering and Broadcasting students participated in an engaging workshop from Full Sail University. Presenter Jollie Parris, a representative of Full Sail, led the students through a virtual reality tour of the entertainment, media, film and arts school campus. Students used a free Apple app called Garageband to make their own beats and songs and explored game design through an app called Jelly Juggler. It was a very informative and exciting presentation!
