When the COVID-19 pandemic began, educators and students throughout the Central Okanagan School District (School District #23 or SD23) were forced to abruptly pivot all academic activities online. While for tech-savvy educators and students this was a small step deeper into their online Learning Management System of choice, for others it was a giant leap and for some, it was entirely beyond their capacity to transition effectively given a lack of student computer access. The affordability and equitable distribution of student personal computing devices continues to be a concern, and although platforms such as Google’s Chromebooks present a lower-cost appealing alternative to traditional windows PC environments, the cost of Chromebooks remains multiple hundreds of dollars and performance can vary dramatically between units, which only furthers the equity gap in online education. Furthermore, while Chromebooks may be a familiar user-friendly operating system, unfortunately they are based on closed proprietary Google software which limits their potential for meaningful technology education in computer science and programming. Therefore, a stable, uniform student computing platform designed for the demands of K-12 online education is required across the student body for meaningful online learning at home, which nevertheless still has the potential to be flexible enough to suit a variety of subject matters and student use cases, all while remaining as low cost as possible. The product is the Raspberry Pi Computing platform, and the venture is for SD23 district to update its infrastructure, train staff and provide students with a personal Raspberry Pi computer.
