10-05 learns about the sinking of the Titanic

First, 10-05 brainstormed what they knew in groups.

Then they thought of questions to ask about what they didn't know.

And finally, after hearing all about it, retold the story in their own words.

Some People Will Do Anything to get a hold of IAT Macintosh Laptops

The IAT policy of having parents come in and sign for students who mistakenly leave their laptops at various places throughout the campus is a good policy. It's meant to reinforce in the students' minds the responsibility they must take with this investment the school has made in their future and enlist their parents' help in reminding students of that when they forget. You cannot be casual about something you may take for granted when there are people who may want what you have very, very badly. Here are some examples.

Bill Jordan was picking up an iPad from the Apple Store for his employer, according to a Fox affiliate in Denver, Colorado when in broad daylight, thieves grabbed the bag containing his purchase, but the draw string wrapped around Jordan's finger, pulling off the flesh and tendons in the struggle (and leaving only the bone). Police have surveillance tapes from the Cherry Creek Mall where the crime took place.


They never touched the floor — that would have set off an alarm.They didn’t appear on store security cameras. They cut a hole in the roof and came in at a spot where the cameras were obscured by advertising banners.

And they left with some $26,000 in laptop computers, departing the same way they came in — down a 3-inch gas pipe that runs from the roof to the ground outside the store.

Police believe that’s how some brazen bandits managed to swipe 20 Apple notebooks early this morning at a Best Buy on Route 1 in South Brunswick without detection.

"High level of sophistication," said Detective James Ryan, a police department spokesman. "They never set off any motion sensors. They never touched the floor. They rappelled in and rappelled out."

So the next time you, a student, are told you have to have your parent come sign for your laptop in order to get it back, thank the Administrators of IAT for helping you keep something that almost everybody thinks is valuable enough to possess no matter what!
