Description
Sunnyside Unified School District in Arizona delves into a district-wide initiative that provided students in grades 4-12 with their own netbooks and laptops to take home, a program started under the leadership of former superintendent Dr. Manuel Isquierdo. For families, technology has created a valuable bridge between home and school that previously did not exist. For administrators and teachers, there is evidence of the breakthroughs that come with a connected learning environment, and the expected challenges that come with such an ambitious and transformative approach to education.
