1:1 Initiative
Ponca Public Community School District will provide portable computing devices for all students in grades K-12. Currently the device is a Chromebook. High School students will take their devices home. Elementary and Middle School Students leave their device at school. Student use their assigned Google Apps Education account for email, documents, spreadsheets, slides, etc…. In addition there are many apps and extensions that students use to facilitate and enhance their learning.
All current and incoming students attend an orientation session about the District’s 1:1 portable computing initiative. The orientation session covers policies and procedures related to computer use, online safety, damage & loss, and student responsibilities. Any questions can be addressed to the District’s School Technologist at kristiehayes@poncaschool.org.
The Chromebooks issued to students will be managed by District’s Technology team. This includes content filtering which is forced to each device both at school and off campus. The Ponca Public Community School District is compliant with all provisions of the Child Internet Protection Act.
