1. Learning for the Next Generation
Technology at Emanuel
One to One Emphasis

2. Concept – One to One Computing
• Each students has all the time access to a
device for learning
• Lessons are more project based and authentic
in nature than traditional methods of learning
• All students can access material on the
internet equally
• Seamless integration of technology into the
learning environment

3. Why?
• We can’t continue to prepare kids for a world
and jobs that no longer exists. We are no
longer as industrialized as we were – jobs in
the future will be given to those who can
collaborate and problem solve and create
innovative ideas to do it.
• Education for Yesterday and Today

4. The Google Chromebook as Device
