Schools across the country have been creating one-to-one computer environments for over a decade. However, few schools have developed the type of comprehensive implementation plans necessary to realize the expected changes to student learning, teacher effectiveness and parent/family engagement. Guided by the findings of Project RED, the Sunnyside district has developed a one-to-one digital learning model and a process for its replication. The model is currently being replicated in five districts across the U.S.
