By Emma Crawford Kent Daily Journal One-to-one, a model for using technology in schools, means that each student has an electronic device – a laptop computer or iPad – to use for educational purposes. In many districts, students are issued a device they can take home with them to use for studying, homework and projects outside of school. They are then required to return the device, checked out in their name, to the district at some point. The Tupelo Public School District began its one-to-one technology initiative in 2009, with the introduction of laptops for seniors at Tupelo High School. All students in sixth through 12th grades received devices the following year, and the district later introduced one-to-one laptops in third through fifth grades. Starting in the fall, second-grade students also will have the devices. Jason Harris, who became principal of THS in 2011, said the initiative was still a work in progress when he arrived. Now, though, Harris said the technology has become an integral part of day-to-day life at school. “It’s become part of the learning environment,” Harris said.
