1-to-1 Program: One Device for Every Child

We are currently 1:1

Access to information and learning has evolved into much more than libraries and text books. Today we have digital access to the collective knowledge of millions of learners and educators. Digital devices give our students access to new examples, experiences, and ways to create, communicate and collaborate like never before.
