1:1 Learning
At OLCHS, every student is given an Apple iPad as a part of their curriculum materials. Students use these devices as a part of their learning, and teachers use them to instruct students. We have found that this initiative improves student achievement.
Vision Statement
Our vision is to create a student centered learning environment where technology is utilized to further education, communication, and opportunities for life-long learning. Through the 1:1 initiative, teachers and students will be provided tools to support the curriculum, to increase productivity, to encourage creativity and problem solving, provide universal access and develop 21st century skills. Initial and continuous professional development will provide teachers with the skills and tools needed to integrate 1:1 technology into the curriculum, and provide support to ensure that the technology is being used to its maximum potential in the classroom.
