1:1/Blended Learning is a combination of in-person instruction and educational technology which enables more personalized and customized learning opportunities, allowing students and teachers to access online resources in the classroom. Columbine teachers and community members have done extensive research into this style of teaching and found the model provides multiple opportunities that support and enhance a 21st century learning environment. CHS has decided this model to be in line with our shared vision goals and will begin with issuing all 9th and 10th grade students a new 14” Lenovo Chromebook at the beginning of the year. To absorb the expense, students will essentially lease this device during their high school tenure. This additional school technology fee of $200 be posted with other registration fees in August. In order to receive the benefits of district technology enrollment, these devices will remain the property of the school until the student either leaves or graduates.
