How does City High do it?
At City High, 1-to-1 computing is integral to educational, communications and management practices.
As an educational tool, laptops serve as textbook, notebook, and library. Students receive, complete, and submit most assignments using their laptops. They use them to take notes, to collaborate on group projects, to conduct research, to pose questions to teachers.
They use them to gather and analyze data and create displays of their findings. Every member of the community has a home directory to save work on the server and teachers and students use them constantly. Putting these kinds of tools in the hands of every student all the time is fundamental to City High’s insistence that students take ownership of their learning—these tools enable them to play a more active role in their own learning, do more of the work.
