This document summarizes Yarmouth High School's one-to-one laptop program. It introduced the program one grade at a time starting in 2004-2005. Now, the senior class that just graduated is the fifth class to have laptops since 7th grade. The key reasons for the program's success include a well-planned phase-in, ongoing professional development for teachers, high expectations for teachers and students, high student involvement, and strong technical support. The perspectives of the principal, technology integrator, and students are also presented.
