Technology Article 2008 Yearbook

This article was written for 2008 Greystones, the yearbook at Haverford High School. I was in 11th Grade.

Technology further took over Haverford High School in 2007-2008! Students looked up their grades on PowerSchool, which many could hardly believe was in its first full year. Students also scheduled their classes for next year online. Classrooms of the Future brought half a million dollars of laptops and training.

Many students spent hours of time watching videos on YouTube, messaging their friends on Facebook, or challenging their friends to a game of JetMan. In February 2008, over 1,600 students and alumni were on Facebook.

Seniors also submitted their senior quotes on SeniorQuoter, a web application written by junior Michael Plasmeier. Michael also led a group study with senior Gary Hunt, junior Michael Gdovin, and sophomores Shawn Ard and Sean Maguire to learn PHP and build the administration interface during block 1 in the 2nd Quarter. SeniorQuoter was released online for any school to freely use.
