In Mercy High's iPad program, librarian Linda Behen offers tech support and more
When the class of 2016 enters Mother of Mercy High School this fall, each of the 135 freshmen will receive a new iPad. That's part of the school's mission: to help students access the technology best suited to their needs, according to Linda Behen, the school's library media specialist.
At Mercy, an all-girls Catholic school in Cincinnati, OH, they call this "tech-agility," says Behen (pictured). She helped support a spring 2012 pilot in which 20 current freshmen received iPads.http://www.thedigitalshift.com/2012/05/k-12/the-library-as-genius-bar/
