Our goal is to provide each student with a tablet notebook for learning at school and home, leveraging technology to increase student learning in the following ways:

Global Inquiry and Collaboration—Extending the learning experience beyond the confines of the classroom by leveraging tablet technology to solve problems, evaluate information, and disseminate work efficiently;

Adaptive Instruction—Providing immediate feedback to both students and instructor about student understanding during direct instruction and class work, enabling the instructor to adjust course material in real time;

Digital Portfolio Assessment—Enriching student assessment by including examples of student work to existing student performance data;

Unlocking Human Potential—Increasing affective engagement; that is, increasing student focus and attentiveness in class through learning that is either self-paced and individualized or collaborative and cooperative.
