High technology online learning and more means the world to TCS students, CU Advertiser Tribune
Too often, the public assumes technology in schools means practicing skills with computer games or researching on the Internet. However, in Tiffin City Schools, technology is so much more than software and the World Wide Web. Technology brings the world into our classrooms and takes our students around the world. Technology enables Tiffin students from elementary through high school to experience distance learning via two-way communication using live audio and video. Distance learning is a popular way for students to interact with students from other towns and even other countries. Tiffin City Schools have participated in distance learning projects with schools as close as Fostoria and Port Clinton, and as far away as Alaska and Costa Rica. Instead of reading about a country in a geography book, our students virtualy have visited the country and made friends with the natives.
