  • Technology progresses, increases learning at Inman

    First grade at Inman Primary School in Red Oak is quickly being taken over by technology.  

    Since beginning kindergarten, students have been going to a computer lab to enrich reading and math skills. Recently, we have seen those same enrichment skills brought into the classroom.  

    Our mobile laptop cart has allowed us to continue our progress from the computer lab, but on a more regular schedule.

    In addition, we have begun to use two web sites to practice comprehension, fluency and vocabulary.
