The STELLAR Project Here at Collazo Cove!
What is The STELLAR Project?A 1:1 laptop pilot initiative at J.R.
Ingram Elementary in which a classroom of 4th graders will be given access to netbook laptops
while in school and at home.
Goals of the STELLAR ProjectTO ALLOW STUDENTS TO CREATE,
CONNECT, AND COLLABORATEToday's students are digital natives who learn
by doing, creating, and collaborating with others. The use of on demand laptops will allow our students to be using these high
level skills continually, at school and at home.
Goals of the STELLAR Project
Many of our students do not have the opportunity to use the tools of
technology once they leave school. This creates an unnecessary divide
between those students who are able to go home and gain further 21st
century skills and those who do not have this access. The STELLAR
Project aims to provide these 24/7 opportunities to all children!
TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD
Goals of the STELLAR ProjectTO BECOME A PAPERLESS
CLASSROOMNot so much for the goal of saving
paper (although that is an added plus), but for saving our children's learning
time from monotonous and non-meaningful tasks.
Goals of the STELLAR ProjectTO CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE OF
RELEVANT LEARNING FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
Today’s students are extremely social, create understanding differently, and are
very comfortable using computers for learning.
Goals of the STELLAR ProjectTO REMOVE THE "WALLS" OF THE CLASSROOM; TO
CREATE TRANSPARENCY FOR AND COLLABORATION WITH PARENTS AND THE
COMMUNITYThe STELLAR Project aims at being proactive in demonstrating to the community other means of
assessing our students; through the transparency of wikis, blogs, podcasts, and other uses of Web 2.0 tools.
