Why 1:1 Technology at CCPS

One device available for every student at school

Our adopted Technology Plan sets a goal of maintaining a one-to-one student-to-device ratio for in-school use. A device gives students and educators another way to explore ideas, create, collaborate and practice digital skills. The learning goal comes first: teachers choose technology when it helps students engage with the work, and students also learn through discussion, hands-on activities, reading and time away from screens.

Technology supports learning in several important ways

Explore & research

Students can investigate questions, find digital resources and evaluate information as part of learning.

Create & communicate

Digital tools give students ways to make, revise and share work, and communicate ideas in different formats.

Collaborate & solve problems

Students can work together, compare perspectives and use technology to build, test and improve ideas.

Digital citizen­ship & future skills

Purposeful practice helps students build digital citizenship, information literacy and confidence choosing the right tool for a task.

  • CCPS’ adopted Technology Plan sets a goal of maintaining a one-to-one student-to-device ratio for in-school use. This means a device is available to support learning at school. It does not describe an everyday take-home device program.

  • No. The goal is access to a tool when it supports the learning task. Teachers guide when and how technology is used, and students continue to learn through conversation, reading, writing, hands-on work and other activities away from screens. The focus is on purposeful learning, not maximizing screen time.

  • Digital and assistive technologies can give students additional ways to access learning, express what they know and participate. Families can speak with their child’s teacher or school team about supports that may be appropriate for their student.
