One to One

One to One

Technology has been an important part of our educational system, and is often used to make the learning experience easier for the students. Computers are something that we use everyday in school, and are sometimes even imperative for the completion of a student’s assignment. Whether we’re typing up a paper, or doing research for a class project, computers and laptops are something that have been getting more and more useful and needed.

   

In Kennedy High School, using laptops and desktop computers can sometimes become a hassle for the teachers. Laptop and surface carts have to be reserved, and sometimes our educators cannot get these carts when they desperately need them for the students. There is an answer, however, that can make this easier for all parties involved. Next year, Kennedy High School has announced that they are switching to one to one. This means that one laptop will be assigned to each student so that they always have a computer with them, should the need arise in any class.

This development that will be put into place next year, will not only make the teachers’ lives easier, but will improve the students’ as well. There are numerous students in the Cedar Rapids School District, who do not have a personal computer at their homes, and school is the only place they have the opportunity to do so. Because of this, school life can be more difficult, and make it hard for said students to get their work in on time. By assigning every student their own computer, students who may not have had the benefit of a laptop prior will, and can in turn get more schoolwork done for their classes.

This exciting new investment of Kennedy High School, will be coming soon. We can all trust that this development will be long awaited and appreciated when we all come back next school year.
