State lawmakers have provided the Department of Education with $8 million to launch a program allowing eight public schools to give all of their students either a laptop or a tablet. The DOE had originally hoped to get a total of $29 million from the state to have students in all public schools obtain a device over the next two years. However, lawmakers were uncertain if providing a 1-to-1 digital device per student was the best means of meeting the Common Core State Standards assessments.
The eight schools include Keaau Elementary, Mililani Mauka Elementary, Mililani Waena Elementary, Moanalua Middle, Nanaikapono Elementary, Nanakuli Elementary, Nanakuli Intermediate and High, and Pahoa Elementary. Each student and teacher would get either a tablet or a laptop, as well as training on how to use Google Apps for Education.
