Technology

The Technology Vision for the Batesville Community School Corporation is to provide today’s students with the skills and tools for tomorrow’s success. One way to ensure that all students have equal access to technology is to provide a device for all students. The 1:1 initiative began in 2011 with planning and preparation, and by 2014 technology was made available to all students. The devices were selected and have evolved to support the teaching and learning needs of teachers and students. All students in grades K – 2 have an iPad and students in grades 3 – 12 have a MacBook Air laptop.

Did You Know?

The QWERTY keyboard was originally designed to slow you down.

When typewriters were introduced, typing too fast would jam the keys. Using a QWERTY keyboard spaced out commonly used characters to slow typists down and prevent jamming. If you wanted to learn a more efficient keyboard, Dvorak is made for speed. While we’re on the subject of keyboards and typing, did you know that on a typical work day, a typists’ fingers will “travel” about 12.6 miles.
