- 2. Students grade 4th and 5th are receiving new laptops to receive instruction through the use of technology, directly tied to state standards. The 24/7 program means that once students demonstrate responsibility, and earn the privilege, they may take their laptop home to complete assignments, do research, and work on projects.
- 3. Parents are responsible to make sure students are taking care of the laptop correctly. Only the insured student should be using the laptop computer. It should only be used in a safe location where it will not be damaged by food, liquid, or younger siblings!
- 4. Nightly homework in all classes will be to charge the laptop and bring it fully charged to class every day. The laptop is a big responsibility and students must show they are responsible to handle expensive equipment and are dependable.
- 5. Today’s students are digital natives. They are much more familiar with technology than their peers, parents, and sometimes even teachers! There is an abundance of research in support of technology in the classroom in increasing student achievement. Some of our own research here in PSUSD has been: · Increased Attendance – Kids don’t want to miss out! · Increased Student Engagement – Kids are having fun learning! · Increased Behavior – Kids want to be on their computer and know the consequences for inappropriate behavior – they don’t want restriction from their laptop!
