To Live and Teach in LA
By Let's Talk Los Angeles on September 21, 2014
Los Angeles is a diverse community that’s actively using over 75 different edtech tools. They are experimenting with new ways to track learning, get students interested in career pathways, and developing multiple research and development strategies to test new school models.
Los Angeles Unified School District
- Diversifying Devices: In summer 2014, the district began to diversify the devices it uses. It allowed 27 high schools to choose among six different laptop devices, including the Lenovo Yoga Touch, Microsoft Surface Pro 2, Dell Latitude E7240 and Chromebooks. This is a departure from previous strategies under the Common Core Technology Project. The district plans to study what happens when schools are given more choice around which device to use.
- Closing the Digital Divide: Closing the digital divide has been a tenet of the iPad program and a reason Superintendent Deasy has cited for the urgency behind the district’s iPad rollout. For this reason, 90% of the tools students use can be accessed offline, without the need for Wifi.
