21st Century Skills
A student computing program can do more than drive improvements in core subjects. It can provide a way for students to gain the critical 21st Century skills they will need to be successful in today's dynamic, fast-paced and information-rich world.
Research shows that students are more technology-savvy than ever, and they rely upon technology in virtually every aspect of their lives. In fact, 90% of children between the ages of 5 and 17 use computers, and 94% of teens use the Internet for school-related research.2 A student computing program can help your district capitalize on this interest.
Dell can help you plan and deploy a successful student computing initiative. We'll help you answer the difficult questions like:
- What is the total cost of ownership associated with the technology?
- What kinds of systems and configurations are necessary?
- Should the district purchase student computers or provide subsidies/rebates to families?
- Can the district set standards for personal computers?
- Should the district lease systems or purchase them outright?
