1 to 1 Devices
The Edison Local School District is proud to offer 1 to 1 devices for students Pre-K through 12! Every student in the district is provided with an assigned device to use for their schoolwork. Pre-K and Kindergarten are provided with iPads in their classrooms for their work, while 1st grade and up are provided with Chromebooks. This gives every student an optimal opportunity to succeed.
Project Lead The Way
Project Lead The Way provides transformative learning experiences for PreK-12 students and teachers across the U.S. It creates an engaging, hands-on classroom environment and empowers students to develop in-demand knowledge and skills they need to thrive. It has pathways in computer science, engineering, and biomedical science to engage students in hands-on activities, projects, and problems; empowering them to solve real-world challenges; and inspiring them to reimagine how they see themselves.
Student Tech Leaders
The Technology Department offers a program for our Edison High School students to help out with day to day operations. Students in the program are given training in Chromebook repairs as well as a variety of other computer repair and maintenance skills. We currently have a group of nearly a dozen students doing most of the Chromebook repairs for the district as well as acting as our Tier 1 support for helpdesk tickets at Edison High School.
