Pearson’s 1:1 Learning Framework Furthers Personalized Learning & Common Core

“The Huntsville City School district is ditching textbooks and passing out laptops instead,” reported a Huntsville TV station. Huntsville Alabama is one of many districts making the shift to digital learning this fall. Students from fourth to twelfth grade will receive laptops starting this week. Many districts have been 1:1 for years including about a third of Iowa and South Dakota districts. The districts extend access to quality content, save money on textbooks, use powerful diagnostic tools, and engage students. Inspired by the student engagement and achievement spurred by the 1:1 program in Mooresville, North Carolina, Pearson’s Scott Drossos developed a comprehensive service offering supporting school district migration to pervasive computing, high-access environments.
