1:1 iPad Information

In the Monticello School District, we use technology as a springboard for learning. All students in 6th through 7th grade are issued an iPad for educational purposes as part of our 1:1 iPad program and bring their device home daily. The program uses digital curriculum materials, student collaboration tools, and individualized instruction in all subject areas with the goal of augmenting student learning. Information for students and parents involved in the program may be found below. The Monticello School District has robust wireless networks to support the iPad program.

Background

The changing landscape of the world's information in digital form will require today's students and the leaders of tomorrow to have a different set of skills than was required just a decade ago. Future graduates must be equipped with not just the three R's, but also with 21st-century skills of problem solving, critical thinking, communication, and technological literacy. Students will need to be able to quickly find, synthesize, and communicate information and collaborate with colleagues-not just in their own office, but within a global community of colleagues and customers.

The Monticello School District wants to ensure students develop the skills and knowledge necessary to responsibly navigate the emerging modern world.

The iPad 1:1 Program Facilitates:

1. Access to digital educational resources.
2. Availability beyond the school day.
3. Individualized learning.
4. Creativity and innovation.
5. Critical thinking and problem solving.
6. Communication and collaboration.
7. Technology literacy skills.
8. College and career readiness.
