Case Study: Cincinnati School Fosters Creative Learning with Tablet PC in One-to-One
Cincinnati Country Day School (CCDS) in Ohio has a long history of integrating technology into the classroom. In 1996, the school embraced the one-to-one computing pilot program sponsored by Microsoft and Toshiba, providing a mobile PC for each student’s full-time use. And when the Tablet PC and Windows® XP Tablet PC Edition operating system arrived in 2002, the school migrated to the Toshiba Tablet PC to take advantage of pen-enabled computing and ink-integration for the Microsoft® Office system programs. Later, CCDS deployed DyKnow® interactive instructional software and the school has plans to upgrade to the Windows Vista® operating system. The Tablet PC has captured the imagination of students and teachers. For the first time, CCDS has a technology tool that fully supports the school’s mission of encouraging creative thinking, individual excellence, and constructive collaboration.
