1:1 Laptop Program
In the 2007-2008 school year, Moreau began a 1-1 laptop program. Each student has a laptop and uses it in each of their classes. The laptop is seen as a tool that students use to enhance their learning and to engage in the use of technology across the entire curriculum. Through the laptop program, teachers are able to increase student engagement, increase frequency of writing and revisions, increase access to students and individualized instruction. It also increases communication between students, parents and teachers. The use of iChat, allows students to interact with their teachers and peers without being confined to the four-walls of a classroom. Teachers often host after hours study sessions online, and peer to peer academic support has increased dramatically in the digital classroom created through the laptop program.

Famous quotes containing the word program:
“Navajo men and boys have an odd way of showing their friendship. When two young men meet at the trading post, a “Sing”, or a dance they greet each other, inquire about the health of their respective families, then stand silently some ten or fifteen minutes while one feels the other’s arms, shoulders, and chest.”
—Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
