1:1 Learning In North Reading

North Reading Public Schools looks to leverage technology to enhance student learning and provide students essential 21st century competencies. The understanding is that technology is no longer an adaption to the classroom environment but is the norm to assess, share, collaborate, create, inform and deliver dynamic educational resources for student learning goals and styles.

The introduction and implementation of the 1:1 initiative supports empowering and connecting students to learn at their own pace, access updated learning resources and utilize the enhancements that technology brings to teaching and learning.

The 1:1 initiative began with a roll out of Chromebook devices to the incoming 7th grade

class in the fall of 2017, immediately providing enhanced learning opportunities for

anytime and anywhere access for students to their own device to connect, collaborate

and develop the essential technology literacy and 21st century skills. The focus on

increased information literacy and adaptive, global and cultural awareness which

supports student learning at home and at school.

The Digital Learning team continues to provide support and professional development for teachers and students to more seamlessly integrate digital learning resources in the classroom and support instruction.

The thoughtful forward progression of the district's goals to deepen student learning and

instructional goals with technology was evident with the successful roll out procedure

with parents and community. It was clear that the value the district places on student

success at both home and at school with utilizing technology to learn is a priority which

is thoughtfully supported.
