On April 20, the Forest Hills School Board approved the “Partnership for Powerful Learning”, a 7th pilot project giving students the opportunity to bring in personally owned devices. On April 21, we hit the ground running.

To help guide us, we administered a survey to all 6th grade parents. The majority of the questions centered on the following:
• Security and care of the devices
• Online safety
• Educational value
• Equity These questions would become the driving force behind all of our work.

We established an online presence as a place to house information and communicate details of the pilot project to parents and staff.

We installed additional access points and electrical outlets in the 7th grade rooms.

Seventh graders share the best parts of the pilot project:
.
Having it when I need it.
The best part about bringing our devices to school is seeing how the learning has changed and how much more kids are
involved in their studies.
I have all of my documents and OneNote notes on my laptop and can access them anytime. I also like that I can quickly email
homework to my teachers and not have to worry about losing hard copy homework assignments.
My device is personalized to me.
You can find new ways to learn.
The whole new access to technology opens so many new ideas and doors for
creative learning and projects.
It’s 20 billion times faster than school
computers.

Seventh grade teachers share the best parts of the pilot project:
I have totally turned my
teaching upside down. I am doing more preplanning but students in the classroom are doing more exploring.
Student engagement and interest in learning has
increased.
The students who have the laptops are beginning to take ownership of their
learning.
It has changed the way I design lessons completely!
Students are eager to take
notes and organize information.
Students with organization problems are much less likely to lose things.
Students can communicate ideas more easily and at the
same time.

Parents of seventh grade students share the best parts about the pilot project:
I feel technology can expand access to every field of study and is a tool which can enhance learning. My son responds in a very positive manner. Ability to access information and communicate information via the internet touches all careers now.
After participating in CampL and seeing what they can do with the computers, why would anyone NOT
participate in the program?
I’m 100% for laptops for every student and wish FH would hurry and solidify this for high school students.
I think technology skills are critical as well as being able to work cooperatively with others all over the world. I am not tech savvy enough to know what types of
technology skills our kids will need which is one reason I am pleased with the pilot
project.
Adaptability, higher order thinking, global awareness, and sound reasoning are all 21st skills that are critical for student success.

The most challenging part of the pilot project: • Fitting it into my locker • Learning new tools. • Remembering to charge it. • Keeping it from being a distraction. • The weight of my backpack. • Keeping it safe because I do 3 sports for Nagel and I need to
keep it as safe as possible. • Flash player because I have an iPad.
