Secondary 1:1 Laptop Program 

As was announced last year, ICS will be starting to implement a 1:1 laptop program in the secondary grades. This program will provide every student in grades 6-12 with a laptop computer to use in school and at home. Teachers will be designing learning activities to take advantage of this tool, and students will use their laptops for learning, collaborating, researching and creating work. This year we will begin the phase-in with grades 6 and 10. We will start the program later in the year, in October, to enable the school year to begin smoothly and to give teachers more time to prepare for this challenging and exciting program.

More information about the 1:1 laptop program can be found on the ICS website: click on “Academics” and choose “Technology.” Follow the link to the 1:1 Laptop program. (Alternatively, follow this link:  http://www.icsaddis.edu.et/technology/11-laptop-program).

We will have special parent and student information sessions for Grades 6 and 10 later in September, but more information will be available at next week's High School and Middle School Back to School Night.
