Pickerington Schools are committed to providing students with technology-rich educational environments where the best traditional teaching methods are paired with 21st-century digital learning.

This approach to education is not as simple as replacing textbooks with technology. Today’s students have been raised in a digital world, and as a result, they think and process knowledge in ways previous generations did not. We are working to ensure our children will excel in tomorrow’s technology-rich, information-driven global society.

To achieve this, Pickerington Schools have adopted a blended-learning approach to the integration of technology. This approach allows teachers to combine the best teaching practice from a traditional classroom and those from a digital classroom.

Pickerington Schools is accelerating its efforts to achieve its aggressive, future-focused goal of providing every student a dedicated Chromebook laptop or iPad mobile device. This $1.2 million annual investment was implemented district-wide by fall 2017, making Pickerington Schools the largest district in Ohio that has gone one-to-one.

Learning, teaching, and assessment enabled by technology also require a robust infrastructure. That’s why the district continues to invest in high-speed connectivity and devices that are available to teachers and students when they need them. Digital learning goes beyond hardware, so we are also ensuring we provide appropriate digital learning content and other resources, as well as professional development for educators and education leaders.
