Upper School Launches 1:1 Laptops
This September marks the beginning of our 1:1 Laptop Initiative here at The Country School. Every 6th-8th grade student will now bring a laptop because, quite simply, a laptop is an indispensable tool in today’s academic environment. One’s ability to write, revise, organize, research, and analyze is decidedly enhanced by having this tool readily at hand.
While as teachers we are excited about this initiative, we remain steadfast in our commitment to what is at the heart of the Country School classroom experience: close, personal interactions and collaboration between thoughtful, caring teachers and engaged, enthusiastic students. These teacher and student relationships will continue to be at the center of all that we do. Additionally, we are absolutely committed to seizing the important opportunity we have to teach our students how to be responsible and empathetic digital citizens.
Undoubtedly there will be bumps along the way and some children will make mistakes in their use of these tools. But learning these lessons in the supportive atmosphere of The Country School will emerge as a powerful advantage for our children. The presence of technology is not going to ebb over the course of our children’s lives; and so we feel it imperative that we teach, model, and reinforce how to use technology to its best, most humane, most powerful uses.
