Laptop Proposal Slides

The document recommends providing all students at a school with their own laptop to promote technological literacy. It notes that computer skills will be essential for future jobs yet many students currently lack adequate access to technology. The proposal is to have incoming freshmen receive laptops funded by the school, with families paying back a quarter of the cost each year. An educational technologist would be hired to help teachers integrate the laptops into instruction and provide support. Research on other one-to-one laptop programs found improved student performance on assessments and higher GPAs.
