The one-to-one program primarily began out of our desire to teach students 21^st-century skills and connect students to content in new and exciting ways.  We also accepted that many traditionally used 资源 began to transition to digital platforms. 例如, 现在大多数教科书都是数字化的, providing a dynamic way for students to engage with presented information. 电子教科书比印刷教科书便宜, yet in many ways provide more engaging learning opportunities through their use of embedded videos, 交互式地图, 图, 工具, 以及其他对传统文本的动态补充. 同样的, 资源, 比如期刊和研究期刊, 主要以数字格式提供吗. The program was established with five educational goals: expanded equitable access to content, 对内容的批判性参与, 富有意义和创造性的表达, 与模范教师的联系, 以及21世纪的技能和问题. As we created our new five-year strategic plan and planned for the direction of our school, we have enacted the following goals for our one-on-one technology program:

1. 更能激发对学习的敬畏和好奇.
2. to prepare students for the future digital landscape (focused around a Biblical worldview).
3. to expand access to content (to include absent students).
4. to enhance engagement and collaboration (teacher to student/student to student).
5. to teach digital citizenship and respect for the device.

In 2013, 经过三年的研究, 与其他学校的交流, 教师发展, 以及试点项目, 皇冠体育官网 implemented a 1-1 convertible PC laptop program in 年级s 5th-12^th 年级. The program also provided class sets of laptops for use in the 4^th 年级和低年级标签实验室.  Additionally, a class set of iPads was purchased for use in the early childhood classrooms.

• Pre-K-3^rd Grade- Students have access to iPads in the classrooms where teachers use educational apps and web-based 资源 to supplement instruction. Students also have time each week in the Tab Lab where they begin to learn how to use the tablet they will eventually receive in 5^th
• 4^th Grade– Students continue to build on their foundation of skills learned in the Tab Lab. 他们还可以使用一套教室用的平板电脑, which teachers utilize to supplement learning and prepare them for using their own assigned device in 5^th
• 5^th 年级——学生发给自己的个人平板电脑. 在开学的前两周, they are taught how to use the device and what the expectations are for using it. Information is also shared with parents at Open House on ways to support their student’s learning using the tablet. The tablets are a learning tool, but not exclusively used in coursework. 例如, students still write in journals and do math work on paper. 在Tab lab中，5^th 年级rs learn about things like One Note and other 项目 they will use in middle school.
• 6^th– 12^th – Students start using Moodle as their student information system for classes and One Note as a digital notebook.
  • One Note- Teachers are always connected to students’ notebooks. 他们可以检查笔记或数字化工作.
  • Digital 资源 are easily shared by teachers with students.
  • Students can also keyword search for content making notes easy to access.
• 所有教室供3K-12年级学生使用^th have interactive Viewboards teachers use to supplement instruction.

Student tablets include 工具 and software that protect them from inappropriate content and limit the functions students can access on their device. Furthermore, teachers may set parameters on what students have access to in their classrooms. 例如, if students only need to access Moodle or PowerPoint, the teacher can block all other 项目 while students are in class (dyknow软件).  When students go to the next class, the parameters can change based on the teacher’s needs.

虽然费用不包括所有的技术费用, the 皇冠体育官网 technology fee helps pay for the actual devices that students use, as well as the safety software and 工具 on each device. The technology fee also helps pay our dedicated IT staff who are trained to troubleshoot and fix many problems with the devices.

• Parents may track their child’s classes and be more involved with their academic work and progress.
• Students are able to prepare presentations for their classes to be shared on the interactive Viewboards.
• Students are able to share digital content with their teachers and other students (as directed).
• Teachers are able to leverage academic 资源 through secure browsers to differentiate their instruction, 更好地吸引学生, and receive “right now” formative assessment data to determine mastery level of academic objectives.
