ONE-TO-ONE LEARNING
We are a 1:1 school where every student K - 12 is issued a school technology device (K - 1 have iPads, 2 - 12 have PC laptops). Grades K - 5 devices stay at the school unless a necessity arises for them to take the device home. Grade 6 - 12 are given the responsibility to maintain their devices from the time of issuance until turn-in.
Teachers will use this tool to engage with your student in a more student-centered and authentic learning experience. Please review the information in the Technology Handbook and complete the Technology Consent Form to ensure your student will have the opportunity to bring his or her device home each night.
WHY 21ST CENTURY TEACHING AND LEARNING?
Otterville School District has taken many steps to provide a rich and relevant learning experience for all students in an effort to prepare them for college and career.The focus is on classroom learning, not the device. The curriculum of each class drives the learning while teachers leverage the technology to help students gain a deeper understanding of the content. Students have extended opportunities to collaborate, create, conduct research, problem solve, and develop a variety of digital skills. The technology provides the students with experiences and resources that wouldn't otherwise be available in the classroom. We focus on the following key areas in our one-to-one implementation:
- Engagement
- Technology Skills
- Supporting Academic Achievement
