The purpose of this grant is to provide funding to Edenton-Chowan Schools for a 1:1 Learning Initiative that will provide a computing device for every student in grades 6-12. The project will address digital divide issues and assist with efforts to increase instructional rigor and implement the new Common Core/Essential Standards Curriculum. The overall goals of the 1:1 Learning Initiative are to improve instructional practices through the effective use of technology; raise student academic achievement, increase graduation rates, and better prepare students for work or college after graduation. Golden LEAF funds will be used for the purchase of computing devices, software, a learning management system platform, wireless system upgrades and professional development.
