What is the 1:1 Program Initiative?

1:1 refers to one device for every one student. This shift to a 1:1 digital environment, however, is not really about devices. Instead, it is about transforming teaching and learning. Increased technology in classrooms allows for differentiated, adaptive, personalized learning.

Utilizing 1:1 technology in the form of chromebooks allows

• Students to own their own learning
• Students to access up-to-date information when they need it (i.e. digital textbooks are kept up to date)
• Teachers to see (in real time) how students are learning and where they are in their path towards mastery of the content
• For easier ways to reach diversity in learning styles
• For increased collaboration while honoring the introspective voice
• Teachers to prepare students for an increasingly more technology-dependent world
• Teachers to develop environment where students stay engaged
