1:1 LAPTOP PROGRAMME

The International School of Phnom Penh’s 1:1 Laptop Programme for Secondary students integrates technology to support and enhance student learning, an approach which is supported by the latest research and best practices.

Students need access to technology in order to create, communicate and collaborate. Our programme is aligned with the IB framework that is founded on a continuum of age-appropriate skills and competencies that are taught explicitly and applied throughout all subject areas. The programme is 1:1 and students use their own MacBook at school in all of their classes.

Technology is integrated into the teaching and learning environment in meaningful and purposeful ways:

 Communication 

• Connection of core subject and curricular areas to real world opportunities and experiences.

• Opportunities for students and teachers to connect and communicate with other students, educators, and experts around the globe.

• Engaged and responsible citizenship.

 Collaboration 

• Opportunities for collaboration and communication inside and outside of classrooms.

• Improved collaboration and communication skills using 21st century tools and learning environments.

 Creativity 

• Creativity and innovation encouraged and promoted by integrating digital tools in a 21st century learning environment.

• A variety of forms of expression promoted that utilise digital tools and platforms best suited to individual learning styles.

Some real examples of learning using technology could include:

• Collaborating and creating documents, spreadsheets, maps, presentations and websites using Google Apps for Education.

• Creating unique and dynamic multimedia projects such as movies, slideshows, and music.

• Connecting and collaborating with others students within and outside of ISPP including the use of educational social networking.

• Publishing their creative works online.

All students enrolled at ISPP in Grades 6-12 are required to bring a MacBook for use at school. Parents are therefore responsible for the purchase of the MacBook and for its maintenance and insurance. ISPP recommends that all students purchase Apple Care, or an extended service warranty to ensure cover for any issues that may arise.
