Join the conversation on how school is changing:
= Netbooks Have Arrived at KCS! = ==
 * The Kingsclear Consolidated School community is moving forward to meet the technology goal of our School Improvement Plan. Administration, teaching staff, parents, and community partners have rallied together to obtain the necessary hardware to support this initiative. **

=**14 HP Netbooks computers for use by students were recently purchased with funds from Parents for Kingsclear, the school, and District 18. We would like to thank P for K for their generous donation that made the project possible. **=

Vision:

- **To provide our students with the necessary 21st Century technology to support their learning** - To support Literacy and Numeracy at the classroom level to meet our School Improvement Plan goals - Focus on NB321C (Literacy, Numeracy, Science, & 21st Century life skills – leadership, adaptability, initiative & self-direction, cross-cultural skills, responsibility, problem solving, communication, creativity, and teamwork) - Whereas most classes have a maximum of 21 students, a classroom pod of 21 computers (Netbooks) would give approximately a 1:1 ratio - This pod would be able to be booked out to a class when doing a special project - **When not being used by a class with a 1:1 ratio, the computers are split between the 7 homerooms for a small group set up of approximately 3 computers per class for centers and individual programs**

- ** The computers are the smaller sized Netbooks and have wireless network capability ** - ** With access to the Internet, students run web-based programs that are either reasonably-priced licensed or open-accessed **
