The Challenge

Roanoke County Public Schools was looking for a technology partner that could help them slowly introduce technology effectively into the district including building a strong infrastructure to support the program.

The Solution

The district turned to Dell to help them start small and grow the program district-wide. In addition to offering standard, reliable Dell LatitudeTM  notebooks for students, Dell provides best practices expertise, guidance from other districts, and the hardware and know-how to establish a solid infrastructure with dedicated servers and wireless connectivity.

The Benefits

Roanoke County Public Schools now pulls from a wealth of digital educational resources to create a rich learning environment for students. The one-to-one notebook program gives kids access to tools like electronic course material, a virtual high school for home or alternative learning and Internet research.

"We also wanted to be sure that every student graduated from high school prepared for the tech world." - Jane James, Director of Technology, Roanoke County Public Schools
