Robert E. Lee High School - Thriving in a World of Change

Robert E. Lee High School is at Goose Creek CISD in Baytown, Texas, where learning is a personal experience. Every student has iPad. As a major part of classroom learning, students have direct access to innovative activities and build unique products with the iPad. They create stop motion videos, collect research data, and collaborate on projects. At Lee High School, the iPad has allowed teachers to facilitate the design of an engaging curriculum. Using apps such as Weebly, Edmodo, and GarageBand, teachers reach students in new ways. For example, GarageBand is used in a technical writing class during the poetry unit. Students listen to music and read song lyrics, then write and record their own song for a formative grade. Through Weebly, students track class assignments and content, and teachers design curriculum in a way that allows students to easily connect. Teachers at Lee High School have begun to implement project-based learning as a way of assessing student knowledge and understanding. Technology is integrated across all content areas for all grade levels.
