Lively Elementary - Technology Immersion Pilot (TIP) - Irving ISD

Lively Elementary

Lively is currently in the second year of the TIP Grant which provides each K-3 student an AlphaSmart and each 4-5 grade student a laptop.

Katrina Hurricane Project

Lively's school wide technology activity this year has been Project Hurricane Katrina: "The Winds of Change". The emphasis of the project was to integrate real world issues with higher order thinking skills and technology. Lively's students and staff integrated technology, curriculum instruction, and social responsibility as they studied the impact of Hurricane Katrina.

The culmination of the project was a two day walking museum when the students displayed and shared their projects with parents, district personnel, and fellow students. The students also took part in a interactive video conference with N.O.A.A .to learn more about hurricanes. To emphasize a community social responsibility a school wide canned food drive was held. The canned food was collected for Irving Cares, a local city charity. 2831 cans of food were collected by Lively's students.
