Factors for Success

Apple 1 to 1 Learning

Student with iBook

Apple has worked closely with hundreds of innovative schools to put into practice many successful 1 to 1 learning programs. Over the years, we’ve studied and recognised that the following are common factors to successful 1 to 1 learning implementations.

  • Provide leadership and vision

    Success requires a leader who can clearly articulate a vision for enhanced teaching and learning — one who can rally the stakeholders in education to a common cause of providing the best learning environment for all students.

  • Set clear education goals

    Begin with the end in mind. Know what learning outcomes are needed and have a plan for getting there. A successful 1 to 1 is all about learning, not about the student-to-computer ratio.

  • Select a partner with experience and commitment

    Apple has been in education longer than any other technology company. You can rely on Apple as a solid, stable company with proven and unmatched education credentials and commitment.

  • Ensure teacher readiness

    Apple provides highly effective, research-based professional development and teacher resources. With its comprehensive and customisable professional development programs, Apple ensures that teachers and administrators are ready for a successful 1 to 1 learning initiative.

  • Engage your community

    The best learning environment for students requires home and school working together for success. 1 to 1 learning needs to involve the entire community from the beginning and throughout the implementation.

    Provide student-hardy hardware

    The new MacBook has been designed with education in mind and offers significant performance and design enhancements: An Intel Core Duo processor, a larger, more spacious scrolling trackpad and a built-in iSight camera for video conferencing, collaboration, and image capture (Requires broadband Internet connection; fees may apply).

  • Create a complete learning solution

    Success cannot be assured by the computer alone. Success requires comprehensive planning, professional development, new types of content, technical installation, ongoing support and a sustainable financial plan. The hardware must be durable, the operating system secure and reliable and everything must work seamlessly together. Apple is the only supplier that develops the hardware, the operating system and software, ensuring the highest level of compatibility and stability.

  • Choose technology with tomorrow in mind

    You can’t prepare students for their futures with yesterday’s technology. With Apple, you are assured of getting tomorrow’s technology today.
