Shiloh schools enhance learning with computers

HUME – Shiloh School seems like the epitome of a rural district – it's nestled among fields at the edge of this small Edgar County community.

Inside, elementary classrooms still display alphabets featuring delicate cursive letters and boldly printed classroom rules. But in third-grade through sixth-grade classrooms, those old standbys are mixing with some serious technology. The rooms are loaded with computers, cameras and much-loved SMART Boards, among other technology.
