Student achievement may increase with the use of technology; however, that is not the primary focus of our 1:1 initiative. When providing technology, Central Bucks focuses on collaboration, mobility, accessibility, and providing a consistent classroom model for our staff and students.

Below is some of the available research that outlines the potential benefits of a 1:1 initiative: 

• If implemented effectively, a 1:1 environment can be beneficial for student learning. With access to technology, students gain the possibility of receiving immediate feedback from teachers and peers through online services, as well as flexible learning environments (Delgado, 2015).

• Technology allows students the ability to personalize education and gain more immediate access to resources. With effective implementation and accessibility to technology, students are more likely to demonstrate:
  • Increased engagement and motivation (Russell, 2004).
  • Higher levels of achievement (Harris, 2016).
  • Increased interest in attending school (Harris, 2016).
  • Improved research and collaboration skills (Delgado, 2015).
