We Are 1:1
• 3,500 students with Chromebooks
• 260 teachers
• "Layers and layers of awesomeness!"- As said by a member of the Google Chromebook team during a visit to our district.
We've been on this path for a while
Why 1:1
Leyden believes...
that students are different today.
Leyden believes....
that the answer to this question is one life."Should we consider students to have two separate lives - a relatively digitally unplugged life at school and a digitally saturated life away from school - or should we consider them to have one life that integrates their lives as students and digital citizens?"From Jason Ohler's Digital Community Digital Citizen (2010)
Leyden believes...
that education has to becomemore than just aboutstandardized tests.
Leyden believes...
that we need to be focusing more on:

• IC 3 Certification

Any student who chooses this pathway will be provided with training materials and practice exams. A+ and NET + Certification require 18 weeks of preparation, while all other require 9 weeks.

Students who choose the programming/networking pathway have an opportunity independently learn two types of programming and general computer networking skills. In this pathway, there are three directions a student can go:
• C++ Programming
• JavaScript Programming
• Computer Networking
Both programming pathways will take the student through an online course, complete with practice exam questions, study guides and “hands on” projects. The Networking pathway also takes students through a structured curriculum with a “hands on” project at the end of each unit. Both of these pathways are 18 weeks long.
COMMUNICATIONS
Students who choose the communications pathway have an opportunity to pursue multiple communication strategies in a 9-week period. Students will rotate through various options being held accountable for their production of materials
• 1 Week - Blog Creation (daily blog from each campus)
• 2 Weeks - TSI Website (daily updating of material)
• 2 Weeks - All Leyden Presentation (bi-weekly open presentations about various technologies at each campus)
• 2 Weeks - Video Production/Editing (bi-weekly updates to flat screen at each campus)
• 2 Weeks - Tutorials (online tutorial added to blog/website every two weeks)
Students can go through this pathway more than once throughout the school year.
FBLA
This is a first-semester pathway in which students can prepare for various FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) competition in January. Students will be required to document the progress of their event product through weekly progress reports and meetings with the instructor. Students must have a first draft of their product after week 4 and be fully completed with their product at the end of week 9. There are various competitions students can pursue, including:
• Desktop Application Programming (I)

GOOGLE APPS DEVELOPMENT

Students who choose this pathway will gain experience developing applications using a web browser and either a connected phone or emulator. The apps created will need to benefit the Leyden School District (i.e. Lunch Menu App, eSchool App, etc.) This is a 9-week pathway.
Student will first complete the introductory tutorial HelloPurr. Student will then choose ten tutorials to complete from the App Inventor website prior to creating a Leyden specific app.
