TV

In this new age of the digital student, multimedia and interactive curriculum, there are two ways to engage students -- either give each of them a computer or outfit each classroom with a projection device that displays the information so that it is large enough for everyone to see. The latter is the direction we chose at Garland ISD when looking towards the future.

Did you ever go to the theater and see a cartoon before the movie? Did you ever ask (OK, beg) someone to take you to see a movie only to hear “You’ll just have to wait until it comes on TV.” Then when it did finally come to TV, you made elaborate plans to make sure you would be able to watch that night? Do you remember waiting for a commercial and then making a mad dash for the bathroom, fridge or other necessity? (This may have involved deception, bargaining and skullduggery to get ahead of your siblings.)
