ORAU’s 2010 Extreme Classroom
Makeover Winner
Jordan Haney’s fifth grade classroom at Rocky Hill Elementary has undergone a $25,000 technology transformation just three months after winning ORAU’s 2010 Extreme Classroom Makeover! On August 11, 2010, ORAU “moved that bus” to officially unveil the results.
While Mr. Haney’s physical classroom landscape didn’t change much, the “mental landscape” has a new high-tech vibe, showcasing Apple notebooks, iMac desktops, and iPads, a new flat-screen television, flips cams, and more. See a full list of new educational tools in Mr. Haney’s Technology Arsenal.
