1 1 Y2 Report Final

This document provides a mid-year evaluation report on the progress of North Carolina's 1:1 Learning Technology Initiative during the second year of implementation. It finds that the eight pilot schools have made significant progress, including improving wireless internet access and technical support. However, it also notes ongoing challenges around content filtering and the need for continued professional development for teachers. Key findings include that teachers are using laptops more frequently but want more models for effectively integrating technology. Infrastructure issues like limited network bandwidth and lack of loaner laptops when devices break need addressing. Overall the initiative is enhancing learning opportunities, but also complicates classroom management initially.
