Technology Impact Study

  • During the 2019-20 school year, we assessed how access to technology and blended learning experiences could better serve our students. The Technology Impact Study explored a number of questions, including:

    • What is the appropriate device for maximizing learning and growth of students in grades 3-12?
    • How does a device-rich learning environment affect teaching practices?
    • What impact does blended learning have on the development of future-ready skills?
    • How do we ensure students have efficient and reliable access to resources at each level?

Results

  • After many months of student and teacher testing, feedback and review, it was determined that iPads would be provided to students in grades 3-8, and Chromebooks would be provided to high school students.

    While both devices increased the frequency of learning opportunities for developing future-ready skills, the combination of iPads and Chromebooks proved to best at creating learning opportunities for students at their respective grade levels.
