• Mr. Cotey

What is a 1:1 Program? It is a teaching and learning environment in which each participating student and teacher has access to a personal computing device

• n a direct and continuous basis for

educational purposes. What is its PURPOSE? To improve student learning and engagement and to teach students how to be critical thinking CREATORS with technology rather than passive CONSUMERS of technology.

What our data tells us:

1:1 Prom

• Mr. Cotey

How does this program work?

Students do not share their technology with other students but take ownership over their own particular device. What kind of devices are we talking about? Students will bring Primary Devices to school. These are laptops or tablets. More to come . . . In the spring we will have an information night for our 1:1 program.
