Learning for the Next Generation

Technology at EmanuelOne to One Emphasis

Concept – One to One Computing

• Each students has all the time access to a device for learning

• Lessons are more project based and authentic in nature than traditional methods of learning

• All students can access material on the internet equally

• Seamless integration of technology into the learning environment

Why?

• We can’t continue to prepare kids for a world and jobs that no longer exists. We are no longer as industrialized as we were – jobs in the future will be given to those who can collaborate and problem solve and create innovative ideas to do it.
