Projectors, like this one in Advanced Placement Literature teacher Mimi Parks classroom, make up the majority of the technological education resources at Palo Alto High School. The Palo Alto Unified School Districts new initiative, called classroom tech refresh, is a project since June 2021 to replace current systems in all classrooms with new Apple TV monitors and sound systems. According to Advanced Placement Psychology teacher Christopher Farina, the initiative will enhance instruction in classrooms. I like them a lot. The smart boards you had to hire hardwire into and that just meant theres like cables kind of floating around everywhere. The Apple TV is being able to cast wirelessly is really nice, which means that youre untethered, and that is really convenient, Farina said. It also means that you can connect an iPad to that if you want to be able to use a different kind of device and that is also gonna be pretty easy. (Photo: Avi Srinivasan)

As Palo Alto continues to struggle through a storm that began Monday night, neighborhoods throughout the city, including scenes on Emerson Street, are suffering from the damage of fallen trees and powerlines caused by the storm. Students across the Palo Alto High School campus, including junior Rori Escudero, faced a power outage as a result of the harsh storm, forcing many classrooms to adapt to their new environment without Internet and light. “I was in AP Lang and we [Escudero’s class] had to change our plans because of the power outage,” Escudero said. “We have hand sanitizer on every table so we put our flashlights under the hand sanitizer for light.” (Photo: Kristine Lin)
