From the Assistant Superintendent of Technology Services:

The Castleberry "Connected Learning" Project will provide students with mobile connectivity to limitless information that enables them to become self-empowered learners.  

Beginning in the 2010-2011 school year, Castleberry’s “Connected Learning” Project began to bring one-to-one computing to the students at Castleberry ISD. This year, every 10th, 11th, and 12th grade student as well as all students at REACH will be issued their own netbook computer that he or she may use anywhere for school-related assignments and projects. Eventually, the program will be extended in phases to all 4th-12th grade students.

Why the shift from traditional textbooks to one-to-one computing? In order for students to be competitive in today’s global society, they need 24/7 mobile access to the vast resources available online in order to learn new things, collaborate with others, and be creators of multimedia content. The National Technology Plan states, “The challenge for our education system is to leverage technology to create learning experiences that mirror students’ daily lives and the reality of their futures.” The Castleberry “Connected Learning”  Project is our roadmap to achieving this national goal.

Castleberry is  committed to providing our students with the best technology and learning opportunities that will prepare them to be self-empowered learners throughout their lives.
