Technology
Wikispaces
Various staff members of Miller Comprehensive High School have set up websites, hosted by Wikispaces, in order to distribute content to students. This content typically consists of copies of assignments or notes taken in class.
iPads
Miller has been working since the summer of 2011 to integrate iPads into classrooms. While pilot projects are just beginning with a limited number of classrooms, the goal is that all students will be able to bring their mobile device (iPad, iPhone, iPod, or other device) into the classroom to enhance the learning taking place.
