Mississippi schools have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Every student now has access to a device, and the state is working to expand broadband access. These circumstances make it the right time for districts to establish a one-to-one technology initiative.
The value of integrating digital learning tools into the instructional programs of pre-K-12 schools is clear: when used correctly, these tools—everything from laptops and tablets to learning management systems—can foster innovation and improve communication. A strong one-to-one plan can build trust and demonstrate the district’s commitment to providing an interactive and individualized learning environment for all.
