Webb on the web... a new blog from the Alumni Office
With so many exciting things happening at Webb, so many cool alumni stories to share, and so many ways to share them on the web, we decided to start a Tumblr blog to help document Webb's journey. We hope that Webb alumni of all ages will follow this blog for photos, news, and stories about Webb's history, and each other.
If you have a question or a story to share, please send it on in!

Why Every Kid in America Needs an iPad
Interesting article, worth reading as the iPad proliferates society. Keep in mind that right here in Knoxville our most well known private school, Webb School of Knoxville, is requiring the all the kids in 4th grade and up use iPads starting in the 2011 - 2012 school year. That article is linked below as well.
"Letting kids use or own iPads is controversial. Parents, teachers and others aren’t so sure about letting kids get sucked into yet another electronic diversion. Pilot programs at a few schools around the country to experiment with iPad-based learning tools are often met with criticism by parents and teachers alike.
Everybody’s asking: Are iPads healthy for children?
I’m here to tell you: That’s the wrong question.
The right question is this: Is the iPad a healthy *replacement* for TV? And I believe the answer is a resounding yes.
The iPad is scary because it’s new. But most parents have already accepted a gigantic role for something truly in the lives of their children: television. The content kids see on their TV sets is mostly mind-numbing, soul-deadening, formulaic consumerist crap, punctuated by sophisticated ad campaigns designed to transform children into mindless consumers."
