1:1 Device Program
During the 2018-2019 school year, Babylon School District will begin to issue Devices for use as part of their educational curriculum. It is the Babylon School District’s belief that these devices will help teachers develop the skills they need to become digitally literate and help their students become career ready with 21st century skills. These 21st century skills include:
- Critical and creative thinking
- Problem solving skills
- Information and computer skills
- Interpersonal and self-direction skills
- Collaboration and communication in a global business world
- Experience in an online learning community
Devices will allow students to direct their own learning and have a greater reliance on active learning strategies, which will allow students to be able to transfer knowledge across academic disciplines. The increased access to this technology will enhance instruction and provide more enrichment opportunities during the school day for students to further their academic accomplishments.
