1:1 Schemes
Why go 1:1?
Planning a 1:1 scheme is a great way to drive your use of Edtech forward. In the planning you will need to look at:
-
your network (we have partners who can evaluate and upgrade if required)
-
your teacher's digital skills (we offer teacher training and support packages)
-
areas to improve the use of Edtech in everyday teaching and learning
-
explaining the strategy to parents
As these areas are addressed you start to improve the way Edtech will have an impact in your school and is a significant driving force to ensure a positive impact from Edtech.
With all students having access to a device schools have a great opportunity to significantly ramp up the use of devices both in and outside school.
