Where have similar one-to-one digitial learning programs been implemented?
One-to-one learning environments are at the cutting edge of education much as calculators and computers in schools once were. Thousands of schools across the country have implemented similar programs successfully. The state of Maine began their statewide adoption of a one-to-one initiative in early 2002. All 7th and 8th grade students received a laptop for their use 24/7. Now, several years later, many districts have chosen to expand the initiative to include high school level. There are literally thousands of districts across the country that have implemented one to one digital learning environments successfully. Several states have adopted one to one initiatives as well. The Windham School District has made site visitations to other successful one-to-one programs. With the wealth of resources and success stories, we have the opportunity to learn from other districts and ensure that we develop a thorough and successful implementation plan.
