The inspiration – Case Study
Located about 20 minutes outside Boston, Burlington High School is a public school in
a middle-class suburban community. Its student body of about one thousand 9th12th graders has performed well by traditional standards. With a 100 percent pass
rate on the state examination and 95 percent of graduates going on to college, it
appeared that Burlington had no need for change.
But the progressive-minded faculty felt they weren’t doing enough by just helping
students perform well on tests. They wanted to adapt their teaching methods to an
increasingly digital world, to help their students better prepare for real life.

WHY MINEOLA – WHY NOW?
Our purpose in offering a one-to-one iPad program is to open the doors for our
students to engage in learning their way. We live in the 21st Century, where
technology is everywhere around us. This is the only world that our students
know and can relate to. So why not let them learn in a way that is both
meaningful and relative to their generation?
HOW THE PROGRAM STARTED
The idea for the one-to-one program started as a idea by our School Superintendent,
Dr. John Fuller, and the MISD school board.
They knew that our students work best when they can control a large part of their own
learning, and they know that our students have grown up in a world of technology.
They made the decision to allocate the funds to purchase one-to-one devices for our
students, and decided upon the iPad because of it’s versatility and ease of use.
Over 500 iPads were purchased, along with cases and other accessories.
A new technology instructor was hired to coordinate the program, and our staff visited
other schools with similar programs.
Initial roll out of the ipad program was set to begin with distribution to students during
registration.
