ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- One Stateline school district is changing the way they teach our kids.
Today teachers at Christian Life were all given second generation iPads and administrators promised that all students would be getting one of their own within the year. Teachers and faculty members told us how excited they were to be able to make their curriculum more interactive by using a technology that most students are already comfortable with.
Elementary teacher Gail Guzzardo said, "I'm very excited after 20 years of teaching in education... it just brings up a heightened level of experience for not only the students but myself as a teacher."
Christian Life will be holding a series of "iPad Expos" over the next few days to make sure teachers, parents, and students are all on the same page.

Look at the student's facebooks. I am a Christian Life grad and am friends with several current students on facebook. And several students have pictures uploaded from iPads & the mac lab that were taken and uploaded during school hours. Why would you provide a whole school with access to that. The students will be allowed to take the iPads home at night, there is no way to stop them from downloading apps and games to the iPad, they've talked about how they'll have iPad "checks", how inconvient is that. I am currently enrolled in a 4 year university and do find my iPad helpful in class but I also find myself easily distracted with it.
Tina, you can read books on an Ipad. Nobody writes reports anymore, you type reports which also can be done on an Ipad. You can learn thru text books on the Ipad how to add, if the kid can't write his or her name then blame the parents.
That's because you're talking about public educated students! These students will have a college degree before they start college.
