Technology

  • The Technology department at Leland Public Schools is dedicated to supporting staff, students and their families in pursuit of educational excellence. Our vision is to leverage the power of technology to improve student learning by providing engaging and powerful learning experiences and content, as well as resources and assessments that measure student achievement in more complete, authentic, and meaningful ways.

    Students have access to personal technology at LPS in the following ways this year:

    Students in grades 1-12 are each issued personal iPads in a rugged case with keyboard and touch pad, and with a cable and charger.

    Kindergarten students will have access to shared iPads in the classroom.

    Highschool students in grades 11-12 are piloting 1:1 Macbook Air laptops.


    Why do we choose iPads as student devices? 

     - iPads are built to enhance learning

     - iPads make students career ready in the modern world
