The 1:1 Committee made site visits to other districts to gain perspective around the multiple facets of 1:1 technology, learn from others' mistakes and heed advice to help focus the goals and objectives of our own program, with an emphasis on planning for the spring 2016 pilot.
The committee met to select devices to be used during the 2016 pilot, and to be potentially used for the spring 2016 1:1 Recommendation Presentation to the Dunlap School Board. Additionally, in an effort to build a cohesive platform for online correspondence and communication between teachers, students and parents, the committee selected the Canvas Learning Management System, which was presented (December 2015) and approved by the Board of Education at the January 2016 Board meeting.
