In March 2000, ASM launched the pilot of its laptop program with the installation of its first few access points and the acquisition of 10 wireless laptops. Now, ASM’s wireless network covers the entire campus and 300+ laptops are used daily in the school. The program continues to grow and the school is regularly visited from other schools all over Europe, to see and learn from our success.
ASM’s laptop program extends from 6th to 12th grade. As per ASM Board Policy, all these students are required to be present with a fully functioning laptop computer during the school year.
1-to-1 Learning
One-to-One learning, often seen written as 1:1 is a learning environment where participating students use laptop computers on a "direct and continuous basis throughout the school day and beyond." (What is a One-to-One Learning Environment, Montgomery, Bruce 2005) Students are empowered to learn anytime, anywhere, utilizing the power Information Technology unleashes to supplement their learning.
Students advance their learning to levels not possible with traditional pen and paper mediums. They gain the ability to collaborate with classmates in more integrated and advantageous ways, to interact with their learning, gaining a deeper understanding of the subject.
