Technology 1:1 Handbook Educational Technology EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY 07/18/2023 Page 3 of 19 Overview Audience: Students, Parents and Staff Dallas ISD made a commitment to a 1:1 student device initiative to enhance the education of our students. This initiative is an equitable program which provides students with technology tools that assist with online testing and integration of new innovation instructional technologies all classroom and home environments. Technology has changed the dynamics of today’s classroom. The learning environment is no longer confined to a single classroom where lectures and knowledge transfer happen from the front of the classroom. Technology creates opportunities for student-centered learning. With tools such as learning management systems, educational cloud services, digital content, and mobile technology, students can develop learning pathways to match their circumstances and learning styles. Students from PreK-12 grades can take part in the 1:1 program. Those who participate will be given a device and accessories to use. The device has all the software necessary for students to learn and achieve their academic goals. The district owns these devices, and all users must follow the guidelines outlined in the Technology 1:1 handbook, the signed Technology Agreement Form, the Technology Acceptable Use Policy, and the DISD Student Code of Conduct for these technologies. The procedures and information within this handbook apply to all student devices at Dallas ISD schools during and outside the school when applicable.
