Teri Hansen, president of Gulf Coast Community Foundation, talks with students working out the same chemistry problem with hand-held devices that sixth grader Jared Gailbreath is working on at the front of the table. This demonstrated how TechActive Classrooms of Tomorrow work.
A new wave of educational tools has flowed into Sarasota County School District middle schools in the name of TechActive Classrooms of Tomorrow. Fifty such rooms have been installed in all middle schools in the district.
A grand opening for the classrooms was held Tuesday at Venice Middle School, with a real-time simulcast feed to seven other middle schools: Booker, Brookside, Heron Creek, Laurel Nokomis, McIntosh, Sarasota and Woodland.
