Integrating technology improves student enthusiasm toward learning, makes students actively engaged in their classes, and allows students to take ownership of their learning.
Students become a producer of knowledge rather than a consumer
Connects with students of all learning styles
Increases communication amongst peers in a classroom setting
Provides opportunities to instruct students on digital citizenship skills
Creates new learning opportunities
Research shows that when students have access to a device, there is an increase in student engagement and an increase in opportunities for students to communicate, collaborate, create, and think critically. These are skills that we believe our students need in order to be successful in the 21st Century. As our students begin to work with this new technology we are excited to see the possibilities for personalized learning to take place. We are excited about our move to 1:1 computing and hope you are as well. We feel incredibly fortunate to belong to a community that values education and recognizes the critical role that technology plays in providing a first-class education, and look forward to utilizing our resources to positively impact student achievement.
