Personal Mobile Computing

Lexington County School District One utilizes district-issued student computing devices to support teaching and learning in all schools. In kindergarten through eighth-grade students have access in their classes or are issued iPads. In Grades 9–12 students are issued MacBooks. 

Providing tools for learning

These devices are essential tools that enable students to engage in digital learning, complete and submit assignments, collaborate with peers and teachers, and access a wide range of educational resources. While device varies by grade level, all students are expected to follow district guidelines for responsible use and care when using a district-issued device.

Students electronically complete and turn in assignments, homework, projects, or research, while interactive applications help them improve their reading fluency, build mathematics skills or create their own study cards.

We have not eliminated textbooks as not all textbook publishers provide electronic copies of all textbooks, and that is not our primary objective. Teachers are able to supplement material found in textbooks, however, with information they create using various multimedia or with information already available online.

With these devices, students acquire the digital competence they need for our increasingly electronic and technology driven world. They learn the essential skills they will need as consumers, citizens, and workers.

We believe in providing students with the tools they need to support their learning and to prepare them for higher education opportunities and careers.
