Imagine the following scenario: You’re sitting in Math class, filling out a worksheet, when you get a text. Instead of waiting or trying to look at your phone while keeping it hidden under your desk, you simply glance at your wrist. A notification has popped up on your watch, informing you that your friend has your iPad that you left...
The calculator is without a doubt the most utilized mathematical tool in courses ranging from Algebra I, the base math course at Jesuit, to AP BC Calculus, the highest. So why not use the best? In a rapidly expanding online world, however, the “best” is not always available on the portable devices that have come to define our generation. Built...
Every day in the halls of Jesuit, a student runs down the hall toward his classroom, English assignment in hand, rushing to beat the bell. Another student plows through his math homework before algebra class, finishing with one minute to spare.

With the imminent release on the new iOS, there was a building anticipation at Jesuit. Reading through preview articles and watching feature videos, students across the school tried to evaluate iOS 7 and decide whether it was time to make the change. The decision to stick with the established operating system or take a leap of faith with the...
After the launch of the iPhone 4S last October, some consumers were feeling rather disappointed in Apple’s iconic smartphone. This sentiment was largely felt due to a lack of exterior changes. Of course, the iPhone 4S received a dual core A5 chip, a much improved (and some even claim the best ever) 8 megapixel camera, a witty and helpful...
