Vision for a tech based curriculum.

Suppose its 2008 and we have come to the end of the planning period we are describing in our tech plan update (2005-2008). What can we say looking back on our experiences? For example,
"Since the implementation of our technology-based, high-achievement curriculum, St. Mary's students are pursuing new topics of study that previously were unavailable to them. Standardized test scores are beginning to rise and enrollment is oversubscribed in all grades."

What are the five top goals we have as justification for becoming a laptop school? Examples might be "increase standardized test scores," "increase elective courses or advanced courses throught online study," "increase demand for enrollment at St. Mary's," "teach students using the same structure and tools used by top colleges and universities," "encourage self guided avenue of study to allow students to advance beyond standard course curriculum." What are other example goals that we can consider?

Why can't we acheive these same goals relying on laptop carts?

well stated louise. Students dealing with real world data and real world problems. Wargaming if you would.
