Nothing To Do With The Teachers Union, But It's A Great Story

I enjoyed this story in the October issue of California Educator:

Want the latest news about your school district right on your smartphone? Now there’s an “app” for that — at least in one Bay Area school district, thanks to the inventiveness of two high school students.

The Fremont Unified School District students have created the first iPhone application for a school district in California. Andrew Han and Sumukh Sridhara, both seniors at Mission San Jose High School in Fremont, came up with the idea and ran with it, says Han’s journalism teacher at the high school, Sandra Cohen.

The best part of the story is that it comes with no union whining or cheerleading.
