The 1:1 laptop project provides full-time Penn Manor High School students with a district supplied laptop computer to use at both home and school. This project pairs low-cost, durable PC laptops and free open source software to enable students in grades 9 through 12 accessible and affordable computing resources. There are about 1700 students that received a laptop as of February 2014.
Additionally, timely and resourceful student tech support is a key part of the 1:1 laptop project. As a result, a tech support helpdesk team consisting of PMHS student tech apprentices is available to students as they may need assistance with common tech issues or problems. For more information regarding the PMHS 1:1 laptop program, including guiding principles and policies, please visit the Penn Manor Technology Blog.
