Promoting Equality, Success Through Technology

In 2002, federal lawmakers passed the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), challenging public school systems to increase student performance on standardized tests, decrease drop-out rates and spread equality in education among all children, despite economic situation. As a school system focused on innovation, it was no surprise that Auburn City Schools in Auburn, AL turned to technology to re-engage its students and address the mandates of NCLB. In 2005, Auburn City Schools created its 21st Century Learning Initiative to investigate how technology could positively impact the classroom. The committee's proposal, which was wholeheartedly backed by administration, was a one-to-one computing program. In the program, ninth grade students were given tablet PCs, bundled with DyKnow software to make the tablets an integral part of the learning process.
