Of The Star ii!
The Turtle Mountain head start _--
program has cut back in certain areas ' -"
by implementing a new technology
into their curriculum that has shown
positive effects.
Due to the recent sequester cuts in
education for North Dakota pre-
school programs, Turtle Mountain
Head Start has purchased 17 laptops
for their teachers in order to intro-
duce a new web based curriculum.
This included installing wifi into
each of the five program centers in
Belcourt, Dunseith and St. John.
"The booklets that the teachers
used to have to fill out by hand are
obsolete," said Education Manager
Cindy LaFloe. "So I talked with Jen-
nifer and told her we needed to move
forward."
