Granville County Schools implemented a technology-infused learning initiative across its five high schools and one elementary school. The initiative included a one-to-one laptop program for students and interactive classrooms. Support from district leadership and partnerships with local organizations helped fund the infrastructure, devices, and professional development needed. Teachers received devices and training before students to prepare for facilitating technology-enhanced lessons focused on engagement and depth of learning. Ongoing support and monitoring of classroom management, policies, and sustainability ensured the successful rollout and continued success of the program.
