A 1:1 program is a teaching and learning environment in which each participating student and teacher has access to a personal primary computing device on a direct and continuous base for educational purposes.
The purpose is to improve student learning and engagement and to teach students how to be critical thinking creators with technology rather than passive consumers of technology.
What is a primary device?
- laptops
- chromebooks
- ultrabook
- tablet lapops
What We Believe
Our goal is to make technology available as a vehicle to inspire, instruct, and maximize the learning capacity of all students, faculty, and staff
We aim to prepare students for lifelong learning in a changing world and success in the workplace, high school, college, and beyond
The tools and instructional methods used to teach, collaborate, design, present, research, and complete assignments will be integrated into the entire curriculum
We will provide continuous education through training and development opportunities for our faculty and staff to facilitate the adoption of new tools and keep up with technological advances in support of our vision
Incoming Grade 9 Students:
Please be prepared with your primary device (laptop, chromebook, etc.) and charger.
Ensure the device is fully charged
Ensure that your device is protected in your school bag (a backpack with a padded laptop pocket)
Please remember to have your Google Apps login and password. Students from other districts will be provided with their Gapps accounts as soon as possible.
What if i don't have a device yet?
If possible, families are encouraged to purchase a device. Chromebooks can be found at many retail outlets such as Staples, Best buy etc and can be frequently found on sale from around $220+.
If a device is not able to be purchased in time for the August start, BCSS will work with families who do not have a device for school through a short term loan that can be facilitated through the school.
