High School Teacher Feedback “As a social studies teacher 1:1 has allowed my classroom to be exposed to multiple points of view as they investigate and discover new concepts in history and world affairs. The accessibility to technology and information allows my students to see that the world isn’t linear, right or wrong idea, but instead has multiple viewpoints.” Josh Robinson “The 1:1 has expanded our classroom beyond our four walls and opened up dynamic and engaging tools for students to collaborate, discover, and explore their 21st Century world.” Adam Page “It allows our students to have an option for how they organize notes that is more accessible. It is easy to incorporate technology into the classroom without the worry of being able to get the laptops or not.” Genia Latka
High School Teacher Feedback “With Chromebooks I can learn with my students as we answer their intriguing questions together. In addition, I love having the ability to give my students tools and then help them to find the one that works best for their best method of learning. It also gives me more of a chance to see my students varying levels of creativity and learn more about each student during the course.” Megan Dougherty “The 1:1 experience has modernized what it really means to teach and learn. For the students and myself, it is a more purposeful and personalized experience, where we can ask great questions, form independent opinions, solve-problems, create and collaborate effectively. When it’s all said and done, we’ll find that students and teachers who are immersed in a well-designed 1:1 environment will, in a world that rewards innovation, develop decisive life advantages.” Adam Dyche
