Evolving 1:1

 

A private school in North Carolina has begun working iPads into its 7-year-old 1:1 computing initiative, but it's not stopping there.

Cannon School students in grades 9 through 12 have been using laptop computers in the classroom for the last seven years. Now, the independent K-12 college preparatory school in Concord, NC, is taking the same step that many other institutions are doing right now by integrating iPads into the classroom.

With about 850 students, the school began providing middle school pupils with iPads at the start of the current school year. Some of the funding for the equipment came from $50,000 raised by parents to help pay for the iPads, plus several Smart Boards and Smart Tables and a new virtual language lab.

Boosting Classroom Efficiency with the Help of Technology

When used judiciously, technology can help teachers be more effective and efficient at their jobs. Equipped with the right technology, teachers can gauge students’ understanding of the material at frequent intervals, then use this information to target their instruction accordingly—ensuring that all students are on a path to success. Technology also can help teachers differentiate their instruction for every child—and research shows these strategies are keys to raising student achievement.

With support from Promethean, we’ve put together this collection of stories from our archives to help you and your district realize technology’s potential to increase teacher effectiveness and efficiency.
