Academy Goes 1 to 1!



The day is finally here! This morning the laptop exploratory program began. Each student went through an orientation with the technology staff and was given their laptop that they will use during the school day.

What is 1 to 1?

Many people have recently asked the question "What is 1 to 1?" Simply put, 1 to 1 stands for 1student, 1 computer.The learning environment has greatly changed over time.

In the 21st century, learning needs to be both meaningful to students and engaging. A way to promote such interest is through the use of technology in the classroom.The Lindbergh Academy laptop exploratory program has been designed to promote such interest.

Beginning March 31st, each student will have access to a laptop throughout the entire school day. This access will allow students to work collaboratively and to be actively engaged in the learning process while using 21st Century tools. The venture will aim to enhance learning, improve instruction, engage the learner, increase attendance, and to ultimately increase academic achievement among students at Lindbergh Academy.

10 days and counting.....

Welcome

Welcome to our first blog posting!

After we come back from spring back on March 31st, Lindbergh Academy will be receiving laptops for every student. Everyone is very excited! Gentry Craig said, “Yea, I am very excited. I think it is a new and good development for the Academy.” Mr. Hilton also stated, “I think it will allow teachers to give assignments that will engage the students more.” The laptops are going to be used to make the assignments more interesting and the work more meaningful for us. Craig replied, “More technology makes everything better. This whole world is based on technology.”
