​Why Now?



1. Digital Divide- Nearly 90% of students have high speed internet, 43% do not have a dedicated device.   School devices are nearly at capacity. 



  • I would love to be able to keep in touch with my teachers that way.  It would also give me access to other things like the internet so I could publish my work if I wanted to.

  • My mother works at from home.  Her job entails many hours on the computer and telephone, notwithstanding, hours that my younger sister and I are home and also needing the computer.   It is an unbelievable inconvenience for the whole family, and tempers sometimes rise when it’s necessary for us to sacrifice time.

  • It seems somewhat impossible to be successful without access to a computer.

  • I will become more studious having a reliable and constant source and access to technology, rather than having to rely on others' generosity of their personal property.  I feel a burden will be lifted along with expanding academic opportunities for me.​

​
Why 1:1?

​1.  All means all- equity for all students.

  • Technology use should be part of the environment not an event.

  •  Individual Devices Become Multi-Media Notebooks- Voice, image, written, typed and shared notes easily organized

  • Creation/Innovation Device- Students have 24/7 access to a powerful creation, communication, and innovation device.

  •  Uniform platform for learning-  Allows teachers to collaborate and share ideas, plans, assessment tools and other learning tools.

  • Universal Design- Digital devices can benefit students who have difficulty learning.  Voice-to-text, Text-to-Voice, digital dictionaries, and resources can help make learning more fluid.

Quotes from Green River Scholarship Applicants
This program would enable me to work on [the device] and when I’m done, I can have one of my sister’s use it so we don’t have to stay up as late working.
​

It would help me be able to work whenever and wherever making it so I can get stuff done faster.
​

I could always have a computer to make sure the facts are straight, take the online quizzes for different classes, or be able to send a paper to a teacher even if I was out of school.
​

It would be so much easier for me to just be able to do my work at home and not have to go to the college library, or a public library to do work because my sister is using the laptop for her own school work.
