Why the expense and trouble

to bring computing to a one-to-

one level?

Why the expense and trouble

to bring computing to a one-to-

one level?

1) Students learn differently today than a few years ago.

2) Today’s students live in a digital world.

3) Basic concepts presented with video and other digital content are more easily learned.

4) The vast resources available digitally enrich the traditional lessons in unlimited ways.

5) Computer-based

versions of common

textbooks, network

communications,

and

interactive websites

have created ...

. . .a rich learning

environment

geared

toward the

unique

learning styles of

today’s students.

Seymour ISD’s

commitment to our

students is to bring

the best technologies

available within reach

of our students

learning goals and

plans for the future.

Why Laptops?

Research Shows:

Laptop students show greater evidence of applying higher-order-thinking skills.

Laptop students more readily engage in problem solving and critical thinking.

Laptops increase access to information and improve research and analysis skills.

Laptop teachers lecture less, consult with students more, and facilitate more student-centered learning .

Student stuck in Textbook . . .BORING!

Student sleeping in class . . .NOT LEARNING!

Student sleeping in class . . .NOT LEARNING!

Student learning on a Laptop . . . PRICELESS!

“My interest is in the future because I am
