Tyrone Area High School

 

As part of the districts efforts to integrate technology into the curriculum, incoming 9th graders and new students in grades 10-12 will be provided access to a Chromebook during the school year.  The Chromebook is a laptop computing device that provides access to the Internet and cloud applications.  By providing an assigned Chromebook to each student, we will be creating a learning environment that enables students to access a wide variety of curricular and research tools and applications, in any class, at any time.

 

In order to extend this learning environment into the home, parents may elect to allow their child to bring their Chromebook home. To enable the full capabilities of the Chromebooks, you will need to have wireless broadband internet access available.  Even without wireless access, the devices will still have limited functionality with several applications that have offline capabilities.  As a reminder to those in Comcast's service area, discounted broadband internet access is available for as low as $10/month depending on financial need (http://www.internetessentials.com).

 

If you choose not to participate in this take home program, a Chromebook will still be available for the student's use during the school day; they will just not be permitted to remove the device from campus.
