Joy is not in things, it is in us. Richard Wagner

Today, there was great joy in us as our seventh grade students became our first iPad recipients.  I have to brag about them at least a little bit.  As excited as they were to receive their iPads, they were so attentive and patient as the devices were handed out and so careful as they handled them for the first time.

Once all the devices were safely stowed in their cases, we stepped through accepting a calendar invitation and completing a Google Sync so the school's master calendar would be displayed along with the personal calendar on their iPads.  Again, the kids did a great job following the instructions given even while itching to explore the apps already loaded to the devices.

Over the next several days, the rest of our students will receive their iPads and begin to use them.  It is an exciting time at St. Mary's and those of us that have been involved in the project from the first days are both elated and exhausted!  It has been an amazing journey and we still have so far to go!
