Building  a  Personalized  Approach  to  Learning

•  Moving  from a  one  size fits all classroom environment  to  one  of  personalization

•  Each  child’s  learning  needs  can be  quickly  and  frequently  assessed  and  then teaching practices are  either  altered  or  reinforced

•  Using  technology purposefully, integrating it as  an important  strategy  in  the teaching  and  learning  process.

Apple ID Creation

Because the devices are personalized, the division needs a method to ensure each device receives the appropriate software and curriculum materials. The Apple ID is used as a unique identifier which will allow the device to be appropriately managed. Although the Apple ID is in the form of an email address, it cannot be used to send or receive any email or other messages. The ID does not need a credit card or any other form of payment from parents.
